Can 10w40 Alleviate Engine Oil Burning?

[DeFelicity]

10w40 can alleviate engine oil burning. Here is the relevant information: Advantages: 10W40 engine oil has a higher viscosity, providing better protection at high temperatures. For 10W40 engine oil, it is more suitable for use in southern China, where winters are not too cold. The low-temperature fluidity of 10W oil is sufficient to meet the engine's requirements, and the high viscosity of 40-grade oil is suitable for German cars, older vehicles, or engines. 10W40 engine oil is only suitable for vehicles with minor oil burning issues. For vehicles with severe oil burning, systematic testing and more effective measures are necessary. Vehicle models not suitable for 10w40 oil: For Japanese cars (Toyota, Honda, etc.), Korean cars (Kia, Hyundai), American cars (GM, Ford, etc.), and French cars, the manual specifies the use of 5W30. If higher viscosity 10w40 oil is used instead of the manufacturer-specified 5w30, the vehicle's lifespan will be significantly shortened, fuel consumption will increase by more than 4%, and noise levels will also rise.
