Do you doubt the quality of your engine oil? Or do you not know whether it is worth changing it?
It turns out that there is a very quick way to check the quality of a viscous liquid.
You will need a piece of paper and at least 10 minutes of free time.
How to check the quality of engine oil
The first thing you need to do is turn on the vehicle's engine and wait at least 5 minutes.
The next step is to turn off the ignition.
Next, you need to get under the hood and then drop some oil onto the paper material.
After this, the driver must wait until the mark that appears on the paper dries.
Then the driver will only have to analyze the “pattern”.
A light and uniform spot with smooth edges indicates the high quality of the viscous liquid.
Dark center indicates high contamination level of the product. It is time to change the oil.
The presence of foreign inclusions may indicate damage to certain internal parts of the vehicle. However, it is possible that the oil itself is of poor quality.
