Do All Audi Cars Burn Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Audi cars still experience engine oil consumption. Earlier generations of Audi vehicles indeed had relatively severe oil burning issues, which affected owners' usage. Many owners had to keep a bottle of engine oil in the trunk for regular top-ups. However, the third-generation EA888 engine has significantly alleviated the oil burning problem, making it barely noticeable in daily use. Engine Oil: Engine oil is prone to corrosion and aging when exposed to high temperatures for extended periods, leading to thinning of the oil film and making it easier to enter the combustion chamber and participate in burning. Therefore, using high-quality engine oil can greatly delay this phenomenon. Causes of Oil Burning: Poor cylinder sealing is the main reason, primarily due to excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall, improper installation of piston rings, or poor sealing performance, allowing oil from the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber and mix with fuel for combustion.
