What are the causes of engine oil burning?
1 Answers
Engine oil burning causes: piston ring failure, valve oil seal aging, throttle valve contamination, and turbocharger seal failure. Engine oil burning refers to excessive oil consumption during engine operation, exceeding a certain level. In severe cases, it can shorten engine lifespan, generate large amounts of carbon deposits, and reduce spark plug effectiveness. Piston ring failure is a common issue in vehicles with prolonged usage. Valve oil seal aging and piston ring wear are the root causes of engine oil burning. The longer a vehicle is used, the more internal components will wear to some extent, requiring regular inspections.
