If the surfaces of the parts in the engine are not lubricated, there will be strong friction between them. The dry friction between the metal surfaces not only increases the power consumption of the engine and accelerates the wear of the working surface of the parts, but also may burn the working surface of the parts due to the heat generated by the friction, which makes the engine unable to operate. The function of the
Lubrication system is to continuously transfer enough clean oil with appropriate temperature to the friction surface of all transmission parts when the engine is working, and form an oil film between the friction surface to realize liquid friction. In this way, the friction resistance, power consumption and mechanical wear can be reduced to improve the reliability and durability of the engine.
Because the working conditions of the engine transmission parts are not the same, therefore, different Lubrication methods are adopted for the transmission parts with different loads and relative motion speeds: pressure Lubrication and splash
Lubrication.
How to maintain automobile engine Lubrication system
Develop good driving habits, regularly check the oil level of the machine, the liquid level is too high will not only increase the resistance of the engine operation, cause unnecessary power loss, but also cause oil leakage; The liquid level is too low, will damage the engine due to poor
Lubrication, so the engine oil level is too low should check the engine for leakage oil and abnormal oil consumption; Turn on the ignition switch before starting the engine, the oil plane indicator light and oil pressure indicator light, should be off after starting the engine. If there is abnormal phenomenon, you must stop and check.
The use of appropriate viscosity of oil, oil viscosity is too low, the oil film is easy to damage and produce parts stuck phenomenon; If the viscosity is too high, additional resistance to the movement of parts will be generated, which will make the engine difficult to start and increase the power loss. Therefore, when changing oil, refer to the manufacturer's recommended viscosity in the driver's manual whenever possible.
To enhance the
Lubrication performance of the engine, avoid engine wear, maintenance instead of repair.
Replace the engine oil regularly, choose high quality engine maintenance products for maintenance, clean the sludge, colloidal and carbon deposits inside the engine Lubrication system regularly, keep the Lubrication system clean, and use engine protection products to effectively improve the Lubrication performance of each component, reduce wear and improve the service life of components.
For the automobile engine Lubrication system, as long as regular maintenance can be done, not only can prolong the service life of the engine, but also can reduce unnecessary economic losses.
