What Causes Engine Oil Burning?
1 Answers
Engine oil burning can be caused by several reasons: 1. Corrosion and aging of valve stem seals lead to poor sealing, allowing oil to leak into the combustion chamber and burn; 2. As the vehicle's mileage increases, wear between the pistons and cylinders gradually intensifies. When this wear reaches a certain level, cylinder blow-by occurs, leading to oil burning; 3. Delayed engine maintenance beyond the recommended mileage results in dirty oil, where impurities accelerate cylinder wear; 4. Improper selection of air filters, oil filters, or engine oil fails to adequately purify gases entering the cylinders, allowing dust particles to enter and accelerate cylinder wear.
