How to Deal with Engine Abnormal Noise Caused by Burning Out Engine Oil?
2 Answers
Engine abnormal noise should be repaired in time to prevent further damage. Here are the specific details: 1. Transmission abnormal noise: The transmission has many parts, and the causes of noise are complex. When analyzing and judging, pay attention to: whether it is related to a specific speed. Planetary gear noise is more obvious at around 50Km/h. Whether it is related to certain gears, which is very important for judging transmission faults. If a certain gear makes noise, it must be related to the parts affecting the transmission of that gear; if all gears make noise, it is often a fault of the constant meshing gear shaft or lack of oil in the transmission. Whether it is related to specific actions, such as shifting gears, starting, rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, turning, etc., which are effective means to judge abnormal noise. Among them, changing speed and direction are particularly important for judging rear axle faults. 2. Wear and abnormal noise: Door abnormal noise is caused by lack of lubrication. It is necessary to judge whether it is the door hinge position or the internal parts of the door, such as the window regulator, door lock mechanism, handle mechanism, etc. If it is the door hinge or limiter, use special door hinge and slide lubricating grease. For the internal parts of the door, such as the window regulator, door lock mechanism, handle mechanism, etc., use special door accessory lubricating grease. In terms of brand selection, try to choose brands commonly used by 4S stores. Engine oil or ordinary butter should not be used, as it will freeze in winter and harmful odors will affect health.
If the engine oil burns dry and the engine makes abnormal noises, I must stop and turn off the engine immediately to prevent further damage. First, open the hood and check the oil dipstick. If it's completely dry, pour in some spare oil to temporarily alleviate the noise, but this is only an emergency measure. Burning oil could be due to leaks or piston issues, and the abnormal noise is often caused by metal friction damaging internal components. After stopping, don’t force the engine to run—call a tow truck immediately to take it to the repair shop for inspection. Otherwise, the cost of a major engine overhaul could exceed thousands of dollars. I made this mistake as a beginner, and now I’ve developed the habit of checking the oil level before every trip to prevent unexpected issues. Safety first—don’t be afraid of the hassle.
