Can You Still Drive with Emulsified Engine Oil?

[AniyahLynn]

You should not drive with emulsified engine oil, as continued use can damage the engine. If the engine oil shows signs of emulsification, it is recommended to identify the cause, fix the issue, and then replace the oil. Emulsified engine oil indicates the presence of water in the engine, which can be related to factors such as the engine itself, weather conditions, or the operating environment. Precautions to prevent engine oil emulsification: 1. Always warm up the engine before driving and use the appropriate oil for your vehicle; 2. Regularly inspect areas like the air filter, especially in northern or humid regions; 3. The engine's breather tube should not be connected to the air filter but instead vented to the atmosphere. However, the opening where the air filter was connected must be sealed. The breather tube should be fixed downward to prevent blockage and avoid rainwater ingress.
