Does the Audi A4 consume engine oil severely?
1 Answers
Audi A4 consumes engine oil severely, and here are the specific reasons: 1. Low-quality engine oil or incorrect viscosity grade: Low-quality oil can lead to increased wear. If the oil viscosity is too low or too high, it can cause poor engine lubrication, increase wear on piston rings and cylinder walls, reduce sealing performance, and result in oil burning. 2. Overfilling of engine oil: When the oil level exceeds the midpoint, the high oil pressure can cause excessive oil to enter the combustion chamber during splash lubrication, leading to over-burning. 3. Turbocharger oil leakage: The turbocharger's turbine shaft is supported by lubricated floating bearings. These vehicles have an oil passage leading to the turbocharger. Leaks in the pipeline or bearings can cause oil to seep into the exhaust pipe from the turbocharger. When the exhaust pipe temperature is high, the oil is baked and emitted as blue smoke.
