What Are the Consequences of Severe Engine Oil Burning in Cars?
1 Answers
Severe engine oil burning can lead to adverse consequences such as increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idling, weak acceleration, and excessive exhaust emissions. In severe cases, it may result in insufficient engine lubrication, causing irreparable damage to the engine or even rendering it unusable. Cold Engine Oil Burning: Park the vehicle overnight and observe the exhaust emissions during the first start in the morning. If the exhaust emits thick blue smoke, it indicates the presence of engine oil burning. If the blue smoke disappears after the engine warms up, this type of oil burning is classified as cold engine oil burning. Constant Oil Burning: If blue smoke is visible immediately upon starting the engine, the oil burning condition is already quite severe and may even pose a safety hazard. Acceleration-Induced Oil Burning: After the engine warms up, whether during rapid acceleration or idling, if blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe whenever the RPM rises sharply, it indicates the presence of engine oil burning. Solutions for Engine Oil Burning: Promptly replace the valve stem seals to ensure the sealing of the valves; regularly clean carbon deposits on the piston rings or directly replace the piston rings; and maintain moderate driving habits during daily use to avoid overly aggressive driving.
