Do All Turbocharged Engines Burn Oil?
1 Answers
Not all turbocharged engines burn oil. Turbocharged engines are just more prone to burning oil, and the reasons for this oil consumption can vary. Functions of Synthetic Oil: Lubrication and wear reduction: Between pistons and cylinders, as well as between main shafts and bearings, there is rapid relative sliding. Oil prevents excessive wear of parts. Cooling: Oil carries heat back to the oil pan and then dissipates it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine. Brief on Oil Classification: Internationally, oil is rated according to the API (American Petroleum Institute) standard, which divides oil into the S series (for gasoline engines) and the C series (for diesel engines). The "S" prefix series represents oils for gasoline engines.
