DELTASION.com – Oil is one of the important ingredients that are
often used for vehicle engines. The function of the oil is of course to
lubricate the car’s engine parts from the risk of friction that may occur.
There are separate choices of the type of oil that is commonly used for
vehicles, both cars and motorbikes. Included in this is the usual amount of
oil used. However, if the use of oil exceeds the proper amount, then some of
the following can become a risk.
1. Not able to lubricate the engine to the fullest

The main function of the oil is of course to lubricate the engine to the
fullest. Including by lubricating the component areas on the vehicle engine.
Unfortunately, this function will not be maximized if the oil is too much.
Oil that is used too much will only make the oil pump work harder. The effect
will make these components wear out easily and then unable to optimally
lubricate the engine
2. Possible oil leak

Anything in excess will indeed have its own bad impact. Included in this is
the excessive use of oil, because of the risk of leakage that may occur.
The risk of this leak can occur when the crankshaft in the vehicle is moving
and then causes pressure on the engine oil. This will make the oil interfere
with the transmission process, causing oil leaks.
3. Piston performance becomes heavier

In the engine area there are also several components such as pistons and
crankshaft. These two components are very important, but can be dangerous if
you add too much oil.
Excessively added oil can soak the crankshaft and then interfere with piston
performance. If it continues like this, the piston performance will get
heavier and the engine will not be able to work optimally.
4. Damaging the machine for a long time

Vehicle owners certainly have hope that their car engine will be maintained
optimally. Moreover, the process of changing the oil is usually done about
once every 6 months.
If you continue to add oil in excessive amounts, it can cause long-term damage
to the engine. Of course, you definitely don’t want your machine to break down
and have to repair it.
5. Waste

It seems there is no reason for someone to use oil excessively. The reason is
because using oil excessively is only part of the waste.
Oil that is used excessively should be enough for several uses. In addition,
the money can also be used for other vehicle needs, so it will be more
effective.
Using oil excessively will only bring its own problems. Therefore, use oil
wisely and according to the measure. Take care of your vehicle’s engine
condition, OK?
