Are Oil Additives Effective for Burning Oil?
1 Answers
This is not credible. The specific details are as follows: The main causes of engine oil burning are wear of the piston rings or misalignment of the piston rings, which may require repair or replacement in severe cases. Additives, on the contrary, can lead to overheating and increased wear. Additional information: 1. Piston Rings: A piston ring is a metal ring fitted into the grooves of a piston. There are two types of piston rings: compression rings and oil rings. Compression rings are used to seal the combustible gas mixture in the combustion chamber, while oil rings are used to scrape off excess oil from the cylinder walls. 2. Function of Piston Rings: A piston ring is a metal elastic ring with significant outward expansion deformation, installed in a corresponding annular groove. Reciprocating and rotating piston rings rely on the pressure difference of gas or liquid to form a seal between the outer circular surface of the ring and the cylinder, as well as between the ring and one side of the ring groove.
