Has the Oil Emulsification Issue in Toyota Hybrids Been Resolved?
1 Answers
Toyota hybrid oil emulsification issue has not been resolved yet. Hazards of oil emulsification: Oil and water are incompatible, but under certain temperatures and specific conditions, they can mix and cause emulsification. Emulsified oil turns white. Since engine oil lubricates engine components, its performance significantly declines after emulsification, leading to severe engine wear and reduced engine lifespan. Therefore, oil emulsification is not a minor issue. Normal oil emulsification phenomenon: Sometimes, when the engine is turned off and cools down, air enters the valve chamber where the camshaft is located. Condensation of water vapor in the air can cause slight emulsification on the oil cap. The accumulation of emulsion on the oil filler cap is entirely different from the oil emulsification issue. This is a normal occurrence and does not fall under the category of oil emulsification problems.
