What Are the Hazards of Oil Emulsification?
1 Answers
The hazards of oil emulsification: Oil emulsification will reduce various performance indicators of the oil, not only affecting the vehicle's power performance and fuel economy but also exacerbating engine wear. Over time, this can easily lead to bearing seizure and even complete engine failure. Causes of oil emulsification: 1. Cylinder liner damage: This is likely due to cracks in the cylinder liner, allowing coolant to seep directly into the oil pan through the cylinder wall. Alternatively, it could be due to aging of the cylinder liner sealing ring, necessitating a check of the seal. 2. Engine water plug leakage: If the engine water plug is severely aged, it will inevitably leak. In such cases, coolant can directly mix into the oil pan, making regular inspection of the water plug crucial. 3. Radiator damage: Additionally, if the oil cooler ducts are damaged, it can also cause oil to mix with water. 4. Cylinder head gasket damage: Due to the long-term high-pressure state of fuel in the cylinder, the cylinder liner may become damaged, causing the oil and coolant passages to interconnect, leading to oil emulsification.
