What Causes BMW Engine Oil Burning?
1 Answers
The reasons for BMW engine oil burning are: 1. Use of poor-quality engine oil or oil with viscosity grades that do not meet requirements; 2. Excessive clearance between the piston rings and cylinder walls, improper installation of piston rings, or degraded sealing, allowing oil on the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber, causing oil burning; 3. Overfilling of engine oil leading to oil burning; 4. Oil leakage from the turbocharger; 5. Leaking valve stem seals. Taking the 2021 BMW 5 Series as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category, with body dimensions of: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, a wheelbase of 3105mm, a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters, and a curb weight of 1705kg.
