Engine oil is one of the commonly used oils in excavators. It can play the role of lubrication, cooling, cleaning and rust prevention. It is very important for the maintenance of excavators. Therefore, the selection and replacement of engine oil is very important for excavator. This article will summarize some precautions of excavator oil for reference only.
1. The excavator oil must be changed regularly. If the engine oil is used for a long time, the performance of the engine oil will decline and can not play a normal lubrication and cooling effect. Cause engine wear and high temperature, resulting in cylinder piston deformation. In addition, frequently changing the engine oil can timely discharge the impurities in the engine body, and the engine oil filter element should also be replaced regularly.
2. Be sure to choose oil from regular manufacturers. Engine oil is very important for construction machinery. Poor engine oil may greatly shorten the service life of excavator. Poor quality engine oil is easy to cause excessive mechanical wear and damage to accessories due to its poor lubrication performance. Therefore, regular engine oil must be selected, and the quality of accessories should also be checked.
3. Different brands of engine oils cannot be mixed. Because different brands of engine oils add different additives in the production process to produce different physical or chemical effects. The mixing of different kinds of engine oils will also lead to the reaction between different additives, which will change their action results.
4. Adding engine oil is not the more the better. Adding more oil is harmful. It may reduce the output power of the engine and increase fuel consumption. With more oil, the oil level rises, resulting in increased running resistance, which increases fuel consumption and even oil leakage.
5. Check the oil level regularly. There are organic dipsticks on the engine, which can be used to observe the amount of oil.
