Does Audi Burn Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Audi does have some models that experience engine oil burning. Vehicles with oil burning issues typically exhibit varying degrees of 'blue smoke' from the exhaust, significantly increased oil consumption, and require frequent oil top-ups within short periods. Engine oil burning can lead to increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, reduced fuel economy and power performance, and excessive exhaust emissions. Below are the main causes of engine oil burning: 1. Poor gasoline quality leading to carbon deposits that cause piston rings to stick, preventing them from scraping oil and leaving oil in the cylinder; 2. Clogged oil return holes, preventing oil from returning to the crankcase; 3. Excessive wear between the cylinder wall and piston, creating too large a gap; 4. Corrosion and aging of valve seals and crankshaft seals, leading to oil leakage.
