What are the symptoms of oil burning in the 2013 Magotan?
2 Answers
2013 Magotan oil burning symptoms are as follows: 1. High-mileage vehicles: The engine valve oil seal ages or gets damaged, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber through the valve for burning or to adhere to carbon deposits on the valve. The engine piston rings age or get stuck, causing oil to enter the combustion chamber. The most direct and thorough solution in such cases is an engine overhaul, replacing the piston rings and valve oil seals. Adding engine repair additives, choosing qualified fuel, changing the oil grade, or cleaning engine carbon deposits can alleviate oil burning symptoms but cannot completely cure them. 2. Low-mileage or warranty-covered vehicles: The likelihood of engine piston rings and valve oil seals failing is relatively small. If issues are detected, it is essential to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and treatment.
I've driven a 2013 Magotan for several years, and oil burning is quite common; the most obvious sign is blue smoke from the exhaust pipe during acceleration or cold starts, with a bluish tint, especially when stepping on the gas, which increases the smoke volume—a clear sign that oil is being drawn into the combustion chamber and burned. The oil consumption rate is alarmingly fast, with the dipstick showing low levels every 1,000 kilometers or so, forcing me to frequently top it up. If neglected, the oil warning light might come on. In terms of performance, the car feels sluggish, struggles with uphill acceleration, and the engine noise becomes rougher. The exhaust emits a pungent, tar-like smell, almost like something burning. Spark plugs often appear oily or carbon-fouled upon inspection. This is related to wear in engine components like piston rings, and it's best to get it checked early to prevent further deterioration.
