Do American Cars Burn Engine Oil?

[StAdeline]

American cars are less prone to burning engine oil. Unlike European cars, which focus heavily on fuel efficiency, American cars are not tuned to extreme limits in some aspects, resulting in relatively more stable performance and less likelihood of burning engine oil—though it's worth noting that small-displacement turbocharged American cars are specifically produced by U.S. automakers for the Eurasian market, as they don't sell well domestically. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid prolonged engine idling: Engine fuel consumption is much higher when idling than during normal driving. Therefore, if the vehicle remains stationary for an extended period, such as when waiting for someone, it's best to turn off the engine. During cold starts, warming up the engine should not exceed one minute—just a few minutes of low-speed driving is sufficient. Maintain good driving habits: Smooth and gentle driving is the most fuel-efficient. During acceleration, avoid stomping on the throttle. The correct approach is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a steady speed once a certain velocity is reached. In congested areas, pay attention to road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking.
