Does the Volkswagen Lavida Burn Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida does not burn engine oil. Burning engine oil and oil consumption are two different concepts: 1. Oil consumption: During the operation of the engine piston in the cylinder, the engine oil that acts as a lubricant inevitably leaves some residue on the walls of the combustion chamber, which is then burned. As driving time increases, the amount of engine oil will correspondingly decrease. This is a normal phenomenon of oil consumption. 2. Burning engine oil: This refers to engine oil entering the combustion chamber of the engine and participating in combustion along with the air-fuel mixture. To determine whether the engine is burning oil, you can observe whether the exhaust pipe emits blue smoke, check if the car lacks power during acceleration, or monitor the oil dipstick. As long as the oil level remains between the highest and lowest marks between two maintenance intervals, it is considered normal.
