The methods to deal with engine oil burning in cars are: 1. Replace the valve stem seals promptly to ensure the sealing of the valves; 2. Regularly clean the carbon deposits on the piston rings or directly replace the car's piston rings; 3. Pay attention to driving habits during daily driving and avoid overly aggressive driving. The reasons for engine oil burning in cars are: 1. Using substandard engine oil; 2. Not changing the engine oil for a long time; 3. Starting the engine with a cold throttle; 4. Operating with insufficient engine oil for an extended period; 5. Running under high-temperature conditions for a long time; 6. Operating under long-term overload and high-speed conditions; 7.

Oil burning was something I often encountered when driving older cars in my younger days. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but later I noticed the engine oil was being consumed as quickly as water. It turned out to be due to worn piston rings or leaking valve stem seals. Don't delay in addressing this issue—start by regularly checking the oil dipstick, measuring the oil level once a month. If it drops below the MIN line, top it up with the same type of oil. If you notice obvious blue smoke from the exhaust, take it to a repair shop for inspection. You might need to replace the piston rings or seals, which isn't too costly, but delaying repairs can seriously damage the engine. Using full synthetic oil can help slow down wear. After my car was fixed, I added an oil additive for temporary improvement, and it worked well. Remember, don't skimp on cheap, low-quality oil—your car is like an old companion, and regular maintenance is key.

Why does the car always stall when starting?

Reasons why the car always stalls when starting: 1. First, analyze the symptoms of idle stalling. If the engine stalls as soon as it enters idle operation, it is called "no idle." The causes of this fault generally include: damage to the engine idle control valve or its circuit; 2. A leak in the brake vacuum booster hose, damage to the brake vacuum booster diaphragm, air leakage in the intake manifold, or issues with the idle control module in the engine electronic control unit; 3. If the engine sometimes stalls at idle but returns to normal after restarting, it is called "intermittent idle stalling." The causes of "intermittent idle stalling" generally include sticking in the engine idle control valve or wear on the outer insulation of the idle control valve wiring.

What Causes Difficulty Starting a Hot Engine?

Reasons for difficulty starting a hot engine: 1. Carbon deposits: At high temperatures, carbon deposits have a strong adsorption effect on fuel. Excessive carbon buildup on pistons, throttle valves, and intake pipes can absorb part of the fuel, resulting in too much air and too little fuel, thereby affecting engine startup; 2. Faulty coolant temperature sensor and intake air temperature sensor: If these two sensors are damaged, they cannot provide correct temperature signals; 3. Fuel system failure: When the car is hot, the temperature is very high. If the owner opts for cheap, low-quality gasoline from small gas stations, it can cause gasoline to evaporate, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture. Additionally, poor fuel pump operation or fuel injector leakage can also make it difficult to start.
