Reasons for reduced engine oil in Dongfeng Peugeot vehicles during summer: aging of cylinders, pistons, or piston rings; weakened sealing of valve guides; aging of engine body sealing rings leading to reduced sealing; loose oil pan screws. Definition of Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, provide sealing to prevent leaks, protect against rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. Composition of Engine Oil: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the oil's performance, and it is categorized into diesel engine oil and gasoline engine oil.

As a Peugeot owner who has driven several Dongfeng Peugeot models, the most common reason for faster gasoline consumption in summer is blasting the AC. This thing drains engine power and directly siphons fuel. In hot weather, thin air reduces combustion efficiency, forcing the engine to consume more fuel as compensation. Driving habits matter too - frequent stop-start in traffic or open windows increasing wind resistance. Neglected maintenance is critical; a dirty air filter restricts airflow, causing incomplete fuel combustion. Tire pressure drops when expanded by heat, increasing rolling resistance and fuel consumption. I recommend regular checks on filters, tire pressure, and fluids, maintaining steady speeds around 80 km/h. Replacing spark plugs boosts efficiency, but don't penny-pinch on essentials. Overall, with proper summer maintenance, fuel consumption can be controlled within a 15% increase.
