Do Audi Cars Still Burn Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Audi cars still burn engine oil. Earlier generations of Audi vehicles indeed had relatively severe engine oil consumption issues, which significantly affected the user experience for owners. Many owners had to keep a bottle of engine oil in the trunk for regular top-ups. However, the third-generation EA888 engine has seen a significant improvement in oil consumption, making it barely noticeable in daily use. Preventive measures for oil burning: 1. Use high-quality engine oil: Engine oil is prone to corrosion and aging under prolonged high temperatures, which thins the oil film and makes it easier for the oil to enter the combustion chamber. Using high-quality engine oil can greatly delay this phenomenon. 2. Maintain fuel system cleanliness: Carbon deposits are an inevitable byproduct of fuel combustion, and they are the root cause of various automotive issues, such as aging valve seals and increased piston-cylinder wall clearance. These problems are directly or indirectly related to carbon buildup. Therefore, keeping the fuel system clean is highly beneficial in preventing engine oil consumption.
