Does the BMW 5 Series Burn Engine Oil?
1 Answers
BMW 5 Series does burn engine oil, and it is normal to consume about one liter per 10,000 kilometers. More extended information is as follows: Pay attention to regular oil level checks: When using engine oil, it is essential to regularly check the quality and quantity of the oil in use, as the crankcase must have sufficient oil to ensure the engine's normal lubrication state. If the oil level is too low, it can cause parts to burn out and accelerate oil deterioration. If the oil level is too high, it can enter the combustion chamber through the gap between the cylinder and piston, increasing carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. Therefore, the oil level in the crankcase should be checked frequently, and oil should be added promptly if it is insufficient. Pay attention to regular oil changes: Note that different types of engine oil cannot be mixed. Special gasoline engine oil cannot replace diesel engine oil, mainly to avoid accelerating diesel engine wear. Since gasoline engine oil and diesel engine oil differ in usage, they can only be substituted if the manufacturer provides a substitution note or indicates that the oil is universal for both gasoline and diesel engines, or if it is within the specified grade range.
