What are the consequences of excessive engine oil?
1 Answers
Excessive engine oil can lead to the following consequences: 1. Reduced engine power output; 2. Blue smoke from the exhaust pipe; 3. Piston ring seizure, fuel injector clogging, and other malfunctions; 4. Increased risk of crankcase explosion; 5. Higher likelihood of oil leakage; 6. Increased wear and reduced lubrication performance. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, plays multiple roles in the engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives.
