The Difference Between L and T Engines

[VanJulia]

Engine T and L refer to the units of car displacement, with main differences in terms of power, engine oil, and later maintenance. Generally speaking, the "L" stands for a naturally aspirated engine, while the "T" represents a turbocharged engine. The differences between T and L engines are as follows: 1. Maintenance: In terms of later maintenance, engines with "L" are more reliable than turbocharged engines, with relatively lower failure rates during use, resulting in significantly lower daily maintenance costs. 2. Engine Oil: Turbocharged engines have higher requirements for engine oil and consume more oil compared to naturally aspirated engines. Vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines often require synthetic oil; after a certain distance, the vehicle may start burning oil. For naturally aspirated engines, there is almost no oil consumption, and the selection of oil is more flexible with almost no specific requirements.
