Does the haze affect your car's performance?

[Ac67]

i thought engine oil has no exposure to air, but basically to lubricate the engine only?

I also told my wife is coz of the haze, less oxygen but come to think about it, the % of O2 in the atmosphere still the same mah, only added with haze parttcles... tio bo?

 

well i guess it's like driving through mini sandstorms. just that our 'sand' here are slightly more tiny particles.

engine oil in the car is exposed to air... tat's why the air filter is so important.

[Ronnie]

if just need to lubricate the engine, why do you need so many liters of engine oil?

[Porche]

only the car more dirty....! wash liao no need one day, a few hours...add another layer of dirt on it liao

I can hear my exhaust coughing.

should I put some cough mixture in the petrol tank?

100ml, 3 times a day. After "meals" horz. No reving above 3K rpm.

i thought air filter is for the air-intake for the combustion system? does it really effect the engine oil (lubrication)?

the large amount is to fill up the engine oil sump. not just lubricating, the engine oil also helps to cool the moving parts within the engine.

[Nine_eleven]

yes.

[Ac67]

ok, now i know better regarding the relationship of air filter and engine oil. thanks.

with or without haze my van always dirty one

[Diesel]

Yup, I feel it too. Current K&N filter not as good as stock filter in terms of trapping fine particles from hazy atmosphere. Noticed FC went up to.

 

I think nothing beats stock paper filter in terms of filtration... recently changed coz warranty over liao...
