Does the Audi EA888 Engine Burn Oil?
1 Answers
EA888 engines do consume oil, but not excessively. Here are the details: 1. The Role of Engine Oil: First, it's important to understand that the engine is the heart of a car, and engine oil is its blood. When the engine is running, its internal components begin to move and rub against each other. However, high-frequency movement and friction, combined with high-temperature environments, require lubrication over time to maintain the engine. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce wear on internal engine components, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning for shock absorption. 2. Advantages: Reduced friction resistance during piston movement, leading to improved fuel efficiency and enhanced power.
