What are the consequences of a faulty oil control valve?

[JadeMarie]

Burning oil can cause the vehicle's oxygen sensor to deteriorate too quickly; burning oil can lead to increased fuel consumption, excessive exhaust emissions, unstable idle speed, heightened vehicle hazards, and increased financial burden. Burning oil can also result in adverse effects such as increased carbon deposits in the engine combustion chamber, loss of acceleration, sluggish speed, and insufficient power. Below is relevant information: 1. Engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 2. Oil control valve: The oil control valve regulates and prevents excessive pressure in the engine lubrication system. The oil control valve consists of two main components: the valve body assembly and the actuator assembly (or actuator system), and is divided into four major series: single-seat control valves, double-seat control valves, sleeve control valves, and self-operated control valves.
