Is It Normal to Burn One Liter of Oil Every 5,000 Kilometers?

[CodyLynn]

The normal oil consumption for every 5,000 kilometers depends on the vehicle model. For Japanese models, the oil consumption is around 1L per 5,000 kilometers, while for German models (with smaller engine clearances), it is approximately 1.5L. Factors affecting oil consumption: Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on oil consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues. Experts have conducted acceleration fuel consumption tests, finding that fuel consumption increases by 2 to 3 times compared to driving at a constant speed when vehicles accelerate into test sections. Tips to reduce oil consumption: If you want to save fuel, avoid frequent lane changes, overtaking, and merging, as these not only increase fuel consumption but also raise the probability of accidents. Each gear shift also consumes additional fuel. Even in traffic jams, try to queue in order; cutting in line will only result in more fuel consumption.
