Is It Okay to Just Add Oil for Audi's Oil Burning Issue?
1 Answers
Audi's oil burning issue can be temporarily addressed by just adding oil. Below are the specific reasons for Audi's oil burning problem: Worn Valve Seals: The valves prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber, but over time, they can wear out or age. Severe wear can affect the sealing performance of the valves, making oil burning more likely to occur. Excessive Piston Clearance: With prolonged use of the car, carbon deposits from incomplete combustion can accumulate on the piston rings. If not cleaned for a long time, this can enlarge the gap between the piston rings and the cylinder wall, allowing oil to flow into the combustion chamber and cause oil burning. In severe cases, it may even lead to engine seizure. Driving Habits: Frequent rapid acceleration and prolonged high-speed driving can easily damage the lubricating oil film, leading to poor engine lubrication and wear on certain components. This also increases the likelihood of oil burning.
