Can Engine Flushing Be Done for Oil Burning Issues?
1 Answers
Engine flushing is not recommended as it may worsen oil burning. Adding a protective agent is advisable instead. Cleaning the Air Filter: The air filter is crucial for engine air intake during operation. If clogged or excessively dusty, it restricts airflow to the engine, allowing large amounts of dust to enter cylinders. This accelerates carbon buildup, causing ignition difficulties, power loss, and consequently increased fuel consumption. Removing Throttle Valve Sludge: Sludge forms due to carbon deposits from fuel combustion exhaust accumulating on the throttle valve, along with impurities not filtered by the air cleaner. Excessive sludge creates air intake resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.
