Can Oil Additives Solve Engine Oil Burning?
1 Answers
Oil additives cannot repair engine oil burning. Oil additives are primarily composed of liquid sulfur, aluminum, and similar substances, serving mainly as friction-reducing additives. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Temporary Relief: Some engine oils have their own compatible products. Adding oil additives may not only fail to provide protection but could even degrade the oil quality. Therefore, oil additives cannot fundamentally solve engine oil burning issues and can only offer temporary relief. 2. Engine Oil Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any shortcomings in the base oil's performance, granting certain new properties. Additives are an essential part of lubricants.
