How to Tell if a Car is Burning Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Judgment Methods: 1. Burning oil during acceleration: When the driver steps hard on the accelerator while driving or idling, a large amount of blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe. In severe cases, the driver can see blue smoke from the side mirror of the exhaust pipe after stepping hard on the accelerator while driving. 2. Burning oil when the engine is cold: Every morning when starting the car for the first time, thick blue smoke is emitted from the rear exhaust pipe. After a while, the blue smoke disappears, and similar situations generally do not occur again that day. 3. Check the exhaust pipe: If there is a significant deposit of black substances on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe, first clean the inner wall thoroughly. After a week, check again. If the inner wall is very black, it indicates that the car is burning engine oil. 4. Fill the car with engine oil: Have the owner drive 1,000 kilometers and then take the car to a service station to weigh the oil and oil filter. Then, fill the car with oil again and have the owner drive another 1,000 kilometers. Repeat this process three times to obtain an average value. After the break-in period, normal oil consumption is generally around 0.3 liters per 1,000 kilometers. If it exceeds this standard, it means the car is burning engine oil.
