Does the Citroen 1.8T Engine Burn Oil?
1 Answers
Citroen 1.8T engine burns oil. Caused by damaged piston rings: Engine oil burning is mainly caused by damaged piston rings leading to cylinder leakage, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber. It is recommended to perform maintenance as soon as possible. Prolonged oil burning will not only result in significant oil consumption but also increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber due to impurities from burned oil, thereby affecting engine performance. Carbon deposits and sludge: These are the main causes of the 'oil burning' phenomenon in engines. Lower-quality gasoline contains more impurities. After being injected into the combustion chamber through the fuel injector and burned, carbon deposits form on the intake valves, piston tops, piston ring grooves, combustion chamber, and spark plugs, accelerating the aging of these parts and leading to the 'oil burning' phenomenon.
