Is Burning Waste Engine Oil Toxic?
1 Answers
Burning waste engine oil is toxic. Below are the reasons why engine oil turns black: Incomplete combustion of engine oil: Incomplete combustion of engine oil, especially prone to forming black sludge, poor air filter filtration quality, and excessively high engine temperature causing oil oxidation to produce gum and carbon deposits. High-power high-temperature operation: Prolonged high-power high-temperature operation of the engine under overload conditions causes the oil to oxidize and turn black, not cleaning the engine or replacing the oil filter when changing the oil. Incomplete draining of waste oil: After adding new oil, contamination from incompletely drained waste oil pollutes the new oil. The cleaning function of the new oil washes down existing gum, carbon deposits, and sludge in the engine, mixing them into the oil and causing it to turn black.
