Does the EA111 Engine Burn Oil?
1 Answers
The EA111 engine generally does not experience oil burning. The main symptom of oil burning in an engine is blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. If the vehicle exhibits engine shaking at idle, or if the engine oil is significantly depleted during a regular maintenance cycle (oil change) without any leakage, then the vehicle is likely experiencing oil burning. Oil burning refers to the situation where engine oil enters the combustion chamber through certain pathways and burns along with the air-fuel mixture. This is primarily caused by damaged piston rings leading to cylinder leakage, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber. In such cases, maintenance should be performed as soon as possible. Prolonged oil burning not only results in significant oil loss but also increases carbon deposits in the combustion chamber due to the impurities generated from burning oil, which can further affect engine performance.
