Is Engine Oil Additive for Burning Oil Effective?
1 Answers
Using engine oil additives for burning oil is ineffective. Below are the causes and solutions for engine oil burning: 1. Cold Engine Oil Burning: Caused by aging valve stem seals. Due to temperature drops, the seals become stiff and fail to seal completely, allowing oil to leak into the combustion chamber from the valves, resulting in the aforementioned phenomenon. Solution: Remove the engine cylinder head and replace the valve stem seals. 2. Hot Engine Oil Burning: Caused by poor piston ring sealing. Due to the poor sealing of piston rings, oil is forced into the combustion chamber through the leaking piston rings under the pressure of the oil pump, leading to oil burning. Solution: Remove the engine and perform a major overhaul.
