Does the EA837 Engine Burn Oil?
1 Answers
EA837 does experience oil burning issues. The piston rings in this engine have relatively large clearances with the cylinder walls, which leads to oil consumption. Engine oil is critically important for an engine - it's often referred to as the 'lifeblood' of the engine. Without oil, the engine cannot operate normally. Additional notes on engine oil: 1. Higher viscosity doesn't necessarily mean better engine protection: High-viscosity oil not only negatively impacts fuel consumption but also fails to provide optimal engine protection. Another function of engine oil is cooling - when using excessively high-viscosity oil blindly, the engine's heat dissipation performance will inevitably be compromised. 2. Different engine oils should not be mixed: Additives in oils from different manufacturers vary completely. The chemical compositions of additives differ not just between brands, but even within different product lines of the same brand. When mixed in an engine's high-temperature environment, oils from different brands can undergo chemical reactions, potentially causing issues like oil flocculation or excessive thickening.
