Is Engine Noise Related to Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Engine noise is related to engine oil. Here are the relevant details: 1. Engine Oil: Using engine oil mixed with impurities can affect the normal operation of the engine. When such oil burns, it can cause carbon buildup in the engine. To resolve this issue, the oil needs to be replaced. 2. Noise: If the noise varies with the engine speed, it may be related to the crankshaft, connecting rod, or piston pin. If the noise varies with the camshaft speed (half the engine speed), it may be related to the valve train components. A handheld digital tachometer can help determine whether the noise is associated with components operating at crankshaft or camshaft speed.
