Does the Accord Burn Engine Oil?
1 Answers
New Accords generally do not burn engine oil, with only isolated cases occurring. The reasons for engine oil burning in cars are as follows: Carbon Deposits: Carbon deposits can accelerate wear between the pistons and cylinder walls, creating excessive gaps that allow engine oil to enter the combustion chamber. Valve Seal Corrosion and Aging: Corroded or aged valve seals result in poor sealing, leading to oil seepage or leakage. Damage to the oil seal between the turbocharger and intake pipe is mainly caused by extended oil change intervals or the use of inferior-quality oil, which leads to insufficient lubrication and cooling of the floating turbo main shaft, thereby damaging the oil seal. Clogged Air Filter: A clogged air filter restricts airflow, reducing intake pressure and creating a vacuum. This vacuum can draw engine oil into the combustion chamber, causing oil burning. A clogged oil filter can also increase engine oil consumption.
