What are the hazards of long-term oil burning?
1 Answers
Long-term oil burning will lead to increased carbon deposits inside the engine, damage the three-way catalytic converter of the car engine, and affect the fuel consumption and power output of the engine. If carbon deposits accumulate in the combustion chamber, it will also increase the compression ratio of the combustion chamber, causing engine knocking. Engine oil, known as the 'blood' of a car, is divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil. It serves multiple functions including lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and friction reduction for the engine. The viscosity standard follows the SAE viscosity classification, which distinguishes the applicable temperature ranges for different lubricants. The performance standard mainly adopts the API performance classification, used to differentiate the performance and quality of lubricants.
