What are the factors that affect fuel consumption?
Generally speaking, the fuel consumption of a car is mainly related to driving habits, road conditions, tire pressure, engine carbon buildup, and maintenance conditions. Forceful use of the accelerator, frequent braking, prolonged high-speed driving in low gear, abnormal tire pressure, excessive trunk load, or inadequate engine maintenance can all increase a car’s fuel consumption.
Will engine oil affect fuel consumption?
Lubricating oil is closely related to fuel consumption.
An engine is a complex machine composed of many mechanisms and systems, in which oil can provide good lubrication to the relative moving parts of the engine, reduce friction, and reduce motion resistance.
After a long period of work, the engine oil may slowly deteriorate, and its lubrication coefficient and viscosity index will gradually decrease. This not only increases the engine’s resistance to movement, causing the engine to operate under overload, but also generates impurities such as dust, unburned products, and metal grinding during engine operation, seriously affecting the normal operation of the engine, leading to a decrease in engine efficiency and an invisible increase in car fuel consumption.
In addition, if the oil quality is not up to standard, it is prone to corrosion and aging, thinning of the oil film, and even entering the combustion chamber to participate in combustion under long-term high-temperature operation. If the combustion is not sufficient, the engine power will decrease, and the only way to increase power and fuel consumption is to throttle up.
Therefore, choosing a high-quality engine oil can effectively save fuel.
