De ce în Japonia uleiul se schimbă la 5.000 kilometri, iar în Europa ajunge și la 30.000

In Japan, changing engine oil every 5,000 kilometers is common, unlike in Europe where intervals can reach 20,000 or 30,000 kilometers. This difference is influenced by driving conditions, particularly in urban areas where short trips and frequent stops lead to moisture and fuel accumulation in the oil. Japanese manufacturers recommend shorter intervals for turbo engines and severe conditions. European manufacturers suggest longer intervals, but driving conditions still matter. A recent study shows that Japanese cars like Toyota and Honda have higher reliability rates, with some models having significant chances of reaching high mileage. Regular oil changes according to service manuals are crucial for engine protection.
