Can Engine Oil Burning Be Claimed on Insurance?

[Calvin]

Engine oil burning cannot be claimed on insurance. Engine oil burning: The main symptom of engine oil burning is blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. If the engine shakes at idle or the engine oil is severely depleted within a routine maintenance cycle (without any leaks), the vehicle is experiencing oil burning. Oil burning refers to engine oil entering the combustion chamber and burning along with the air-fuel mixture. This is primarily caused by damaged piston rings, which lead to cylinder leakage and oil entering the combustion chamber. It is recommended to perform maintenance as soon as possible. Prolonged oil burning not only results in significant oil loss but also increases carbon deposits in the combustion chamber due to the impurities generated from burning oil, thereby affecting engine performance. Engine maintenance: The core of engine maintenance is lubrication. Additionally, routine maintenance tasks include cleaning, inspection, tightening, adjustment, and replenishment. The primary purpose of engine lubrication is to reduce friction between moving parts, minimize wear, and ensure smooth operation. Key tasks include ensuring sufficient lubrication for moving parts and replacing or replenishing lubricants and filters. Cleaning is fundamental to preventing component corrosion, reducing wear, and lowering fuel consumption. Key tasks involve surface care for parts and thorough cleaning of assemblies and components, both internally and externally. Inspection involves checking the machine to determine whether the working condition of parts has changed, whether they have deformed or worn out. Key tasks include examining the surfaces, working conditions, and bolt tightness of various assemblies and components.
