Is It Normal for the Oil Dipstick to Reach the Lower Limit at 5,000 Kilometers?

[DiAustin]

When the car's oil dipstick drops by 1 centimeter after 5,000 kilometers, it does not indicate oil burning and is considered normal. Hazards of High Oil Temperature: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause engine oil to corrode and age, thinning the oil film and making it more likely to enter the combustion chamber. Using high-quality oil can significantly delay this phenomenon. Carbon deposits are an inevitable byproduct of fuel combustion and are the root cause of various car issues, such as aging valve seals and increased piston-cylinder wall gaps. Consequences of Engine Oil Burning: If the oil level is too high (exceeding the maximum mark), excess oil can easily enter the combustion chamber (due to excessive internal pressure), forming sticky carbon deposits. While initial impacts may not be noticeable, over time, the buildup of carbon deposits will inevitably worsen.
