Cylinder scoring in a car can occur due to the following reasons: 1. Engine cylinder scoring usually happens after major repairs, caused by improper assembly during the overhaul. 2. It can also be caused by insufficient or aged engine oil failing to provide proper lubrication. 3.

Take good care of the engine. 5. Replace the air filter regularly. 6. Ensure the lubrication system functions properly.
