Is consuming 1 liter of oil per 3,000 kilometers considered oil burning?
1 Answers
An actual consumption rate of 1 liter per 3,000 kilometers already exceeds the minimum limit set by national standards. Strictly speaking, this indicates the presence of oil burning phenomenon. The oil-to-fuel consumption percentage is calculated based on actual average fuel consumption. Taking a 1.8T Magotan with an average fuel consumption of 10L per 100 kilometers as an example, the permitted oil consumption is 0.03L per 100 kilometers, 0.3 liters per 1,000 kilometers, and 0.9L per 3,000 kilometers. Causes of oil burning: Normal wear: This is a natural occurrence after a vehicle has been driven for a certain mileage. Generally, vehicles experience this around 200,000 kilometers. Different vehicles, usage patterns, and regions (varying air dust content) significantly impact engine lifespan. Abnormal wear: Early abnormal wear can be caused by product quality issues or improper usage. If oil burning occurs during the warranty period, promptly contact the manufacturer's 4S store for maintenance or engine replacement. Causes of early engine wear: Using substandard engine oil, exceeding oil change intervals without replacing oil and oil filter, cold starts with wide-open throttle, prolonged operation with insufficient oil levels, extended operation under high-temperature conditions, continuous high-load high-speed operation (engine speed exceeding 4,000 RPM), prolonged operation in poor air quality (excessive dust content) without timely air filter replacement, insufficient oil pump pressure, low oil pressure, clogged oil passages, etc.
