How does the horizontally opposed engine deal with the problem of inadequate cylinder lubrication?

This question reminds me of a joke about someone accidentally entering a group of PhD students, and someone asks the question of whether raindrops falling from the sky can kill people after a long period of acceleration.

As a result, the doctors began to do all sorts of calculations, and the man asked, "Haven't you seen rain?" and was kicked out.

When it comes to the boxer engine, I really can't imagine any black technology to ensure adequate lubrication, because its cylinders are transverse, while the cylinders of ordinary inline four-cylinder engines are arranged vertically, and the gravity of the lubricating oil in each part of the cylinder wall is comparable, while the transverse cylinder always feels that the lubricating oil in the upper part of the cylinder wall is more likely to be lost. At first glance, it may seem that the lubrication of transverse cylinders is a real headache.

The boxer engine has a low center of gravity. Because the cylinders are "flat" rather than "diagonal" or "upright" like V-shaped or in-line engines, the car's center of gravity is lowered while allowing the front end to be designed flat and low. Both of these factors enhance the car's driving stability.

Because the boxer engine is inherently symmetrical, it allows the transmission, etc., to be placed in the center of the body, so that the weight of the car is symmetrical to the left and right, without the center of gravity being tilted to one side like most cars.

The direction of the power take-off shaft of the horizontally opposed engine is consistent with the direction of the transmission shaft, so there is no need to change the direction of power transmission or use gear transmission, but can directly dock with the clutch and transmission, and the power transmission efficiency is higher, so that the starting and acceleration of the car are more rapid.

The disadvantage of the horizontally opposed engine is that it is inconvenient to maintain, and the ignition interval of each cylinder is unique, which makes its exhaust sound more weird, and ordinary cars are rarely equipped with horizontally opposed engines. At present, only two car factories in the world, Porsche in Germany and Fujifilm in Japan, still produce this engine.

This is due to the fact that its cylinders are "flat" rather than "diagonally" or "vertically" like V-shaped or in-line engines

Generally, we will go to the 4S shop for a comprehensive inspection, and then deal with the lubrication problem.

Because its cylinder is transverse, while the cylinder of ordinary inline four-cylinder engine is vertically arranged, the lubricating oil gravity of each part of the cylinder wall is equal, and the transverse cylinder always feels that the lubricating oil in the upper part of the cylinder wall is more likely to be lost.

The cylinders of ordinary inline four-cylinder engines are arranged vertically, and if the lubrication is not in place, lubricants will be used.

They will check the cylinders regularly and if the lubrication is not in place, they will apply lubricants.

You can ask car professionals about this, we don't know much about it.

If the cylinder is not lubricated properly, it will have a bad effect on the engine.

Check on time, and if you find similar problems, take measures to solve them in time.

It can improve the problem of uneven oil distribution inside the cylinder, thereby promoting the use of horizontal engines.

Piston graphite coating, with a fully synthetic lubricant with good film strength. There is no other way.

The cylinders are transverse, while the cylinders of ordinary inline four-cylinder engines are arranged vertically, and the gravity of the lubricating oil in each part of the cylinder wall is comparable, while the lubricating oil in the upper part of the cylinder wall of the transverse cylinder is more likely to be lost.

The cylinders of a horizontally opposed engine are bias wear, and the pistons of this engine are placed horizontally, so the influence of gravity can cause the cylinder to have eccentric wear.

Some horizontally opposed engines have a long mileage, and oil will burn later due to cylinder ecstasy.

Owners of boxer engines are advised to use better oil for their engines, which will prevent cylinder wear.

99% of the wear occurs at the moment of cold start, during the cold start, the oil has not yet reached the surface of the parts that need to be lubricated, and the various parts in the engine are in a state of dry friction, and the wear of the engine is the largest at this time.

After the engine starts, the oil will quickly reach the surface of the various parts that need to be lubricated in the engine to establish an oil film, which can reduce the wear of the engine and can reduce the running resistance of the engine.

If you want to reduce the wear and tear of your engine, you need to use better oil, which is the only way.

Some riders still have the habit of heating up after starting the engine, and it is recommended that the riders who use the horizontally opposed engine idle in place for a short time after starting the engine, and there is no need for the riders who use the general engine to heat up.

When using the car in normal times, it is necessary to maintain it on time and change the oil on time, which can reduce the wear and tear of various parts in the engine.

If you don't change the oil for a long time, it will exacerbate the wear and tear of the hail motive.

The cylinders of a horizontally opposed engine are subject to eccentric wear, whereas the pistons of such engines are placed horizontally, so the cylinders are eccentric due to the effect of gravity.

In some horizontally opposed engines, after a long mileage, the oil burns due to the eccentric wear of the cylinders.

It is recommended for owners of boxer-opposed engines, which use better oil, which prevents cylinder wear.

99% of wear and tear occurs during cold starts. During the cold start, the oil does not reach the surface of every component that needs to be lubricated. At this time, all parts in the engine are in a state of dry friction, and the engine wears the most.

After the engine starts, the oil will quickly reach the surface of all parts that need to be lubricated in the source engine to establish an oil film, which can reduce engine wear and reduce engine running resistance.

If you want to reduce engine wear, you need to use a better oil, and that's the only way to go.

Some riders also have the habit of warming up the engine after starting it. It is recommended that riders with boxer engines idle in place for a short time after starting the engine, and riders with ordinary engines do not need to warm up the engine.

When using the car, it is necessary to maintain and change the oil on time to reduce the wear and tear of various parts in the engine.

If you do not change the oil for a long time, it will aggravate the wear of the engine.
