Can a Car Still Run If It's Burning Oil? A car can still run if it's burning oil, but if the oil consumption is significant, it is recommended to have it repaired. On one hand, this can save on oil costs, and on the other hand, it helps protect the components. The need for repair can be determined based on the severity of oil consumption. Normal oil consumption is around 0.5L or less per 1,000 kilometers. If the consumption exceeds this value, repairs are necessary. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions: lubricating and reducing friction, aiding in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and cushioning shocks. It is categorized into: 1. Conventional mineral oil; 2. Semi-synthetic oil; 3. Full synthetic oil.
