Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of demonstration props technology, such as an engine cleaning demonstration prop. Background Technology
[0002] The descriptions in this section are provided only as background information relating to this disclosure and do not constitute prior art.
[0003] During long-term operation, the lubricating oil in the internal combustion engine, a core component of a vehicle's powertrain, will experience performance degradation due to high-temperature oxidation, mechanical shearing, and the intrusion of contaminants. According to vehicle maintenance procedures, oil changes are typically required every 5,000-10,000 kilometers or every 6-12 months. The current standard change procedure mainly includes: removing the drain plug from the oil pan to drain the oil by gravity, then replacing the oil filter and adding new engine oil.
[0004] However, traditional gravity-based oil drainage methods have significant technical drawbacks: due to the asymmetrical design of the engine oil pan, internal components such as baffles, oil baffles, and oil pump suction ports create multiple fluid retention areas, resulting in approximately 12-18% of the old engine oil failing to drain effectively. This residual old oil can have a synergistic deterioration effect with the newly injected oil, causing a decline in the boundary lubrication properties of the new oil.
[0005] Some car owners have misconceptions, mistakenly believing that "no visible leaks mean the oil change is complete," and lack awareness of the dangers of mixing old and new engine oil. Therefore, developing an oil change instructional demonstration device with dynamic visualization capabilities is of significant value in improving user understanding and optimizing maintenance decisions.
