Does FAW-Volkswagen Tayron consume engine oil?
2 Answers
FAW-Volkswagen Tayron does not consume engine oil. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Volkswagen's oil consumption was an issue in the past. The early second-generation EA888 engine did have oil consumption problems, but the second-generation EA888 engine has been phased out, and Tayron's engine is a third-generation engine, so there is no issue with oil consumption. 2. Higher oil consumption and so-called oil burning are two different things. German cars generally consume more engine oil. This is because German car engines are designed from the outset to prioritize better acceleration performance and handling, which results in higher oil consumption.
I've driven the FAW-Volkswagen Tayron, and I was curious about its oil consumption. Some friends are concerned about oil burning issues, which do exist, but it depends on the specific model. The Tayron commonly uses Volkswagen's EA888 engine, and earlier versions did have reports of oil burning, especially during frequent long-distance driving or aggressive driving, where the oil level dropped quickly. I'm currently driving a 2020 model, and the manufacturer improved the piston ring design, significantly reducing this issue. For daily commuting, as long as you check the oil level every 10,000 kilometers and use genuine oil, there's basically no abnormal consumption. From my personal experience, if buying a used car, pay attention to the condition of older models, but new models are generally stable. In short, don't worry too much—just maintain it properly.
