Does the BMW 316 consume engine oil severely?
1 Answers
BMW 316 consumes engine oil relatively severely. Reasons for BMW engine oil consumption: Using engine oil of poor quality or with viscosity grades that do not meet the requirements. Oil viscosity that is too low or too high can cause poor engine lubrication, increasing wear on the piston rings and cylinder walls, reducing sealing performance, and leading to oil consumption. Excessive clearance between the piston rings and cylinder walls, improper installation of piston rings, or degraded sealing performance can allow oil from the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber, causing oil consumption. Methods to repair engine oil consumption: Overhaul the car's engine, including replacing piston rings, valve stem seals, and other components. Use engine repair additives to alleviate oil consumption. Use specialized carbon removers to release the tension of the piston rings and the elasticity of the seals to mitigate the situation.
