What Are the Hazards of Prolonged Oil Burning for a Car?

[SanArya]

Below are the hazards of prolonged oil burning for a car: 1. Engine oil burning generates a large amount of carbon deposits. These deposits can cause the piston rings to become stuck, and stuck piston rings may accelerate wear between the piston and cylinder wall. This leads to poor piston sealing, setting the stage for oil burning and creating a vicious cycle. Over time, this will inevitably result in cylinder scoring and engine failure. If a traffic accident occurs due to this, it could pose a serious threat to life safety. 2. Long-term oil burning can directly damage the three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor. The oxygen consumed during oil burning reduces the oxygen available for fuel combustion, leading to incomplete combustion of gasoline and excessive emissions, including carbon deposits and lead elements. These substances can harm the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter, and the harmful byproducts of oil burning will accelerate the damage to these two major components.
