What Are the Hazards of Engine Oil Burning?
1 Answers
Engine oil burning can lead to increased fuel consumption, insufficient power, carbon buildup, engine vibration, wear, and excessive oil consumption. Below is a detailed explanation of engine oil burning: 1. Oil Burning: Oil burning refers to the situation where engine oil enters the combustion chamber and mixes with the air-fuel mixture for combustion. The 'oil burning' phenomenon can cause rapid damage to the vehicle's oxygen sensor, increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, result in unstable idling, weak acceleration, higher fuel consumption, and excessive exhaust emissions. In severe cases, insufficient engine lubrication can cause irreparable damage or even total engine failure, significantly increasing repair costs and posing potential safety hazards. 2. Preventive Measures: Avoid prolonged rapid acceleration and high-speed driving. Regularly check the oil dipstick and do not rely solely on the oil warning light. Replace engine oil according to the maintenance schedule. Add an appropriate amount of engine oil.
