Does the BMW X3 burn engine oil?
1 Answers
The causes of engine oil burning are quite complex, with the primary reason being poor sealing of components such as cylinders, valves, and piston rods within the engine, leading to excessive oil participating in combustion and resulting in abnormal oil consumption. Solutions for oil burning are as follows: 1. Use high-quality engine oil: Engine oil is crucial for the normal operation of the engine, serving not only as a lubricant but also providing cleaning, cooling, sealing, and rust prevention. If minor oil burning occurs, using higher-quality oil can help. If possible, opt for qualified semi-synthetic or full-synthetic oils. 2. Use fuel additives: Some cases of oil burning are related to carbon deposits. While carbon buildup in engines is inevitable, it can be mitigated with the use of cleaning-type fuel additives. This is akin to routine maintenance—using 1 to 2 bottles of carbon removal additives every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, with one bottle per tank of fuel, is both simple and convenient. Maintenance is the best approach.
