What Causes Excessive Engine Noise Above 60 MPH?
1 Answers
Reasons for excessive engine noise above 60 MPH: 1. Overfilled engine oil: Excessive oil increases instantaneous working resistance, raises crankshaft rotation resistance, reduces engine output power, and may cause oil to enter the combustion chamber, resulting in oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption. 2. Incorrect oil type: For example, switching from full synthetic to mineral oil. Always change oil at authorized shops using genuine products, as counterfeit or inferior oils severely damage engines. Following the maintenance manual's recommended oil specifications is generally safe.
