What causes the third-generation EA888 engine to burn oil?
1 Answers
It is caused by issues with the engine's exhaust gas valve. Below are the relevant details: 1. Exhaust Gas Valve: After engine oil passes through the exhaust gas valve, a portion of the oil flows into the combustion chamber. Inside the combustion chamber, the oil is burned, and the residual impurities accelerate the wear of the engine piston rings, causing the oil rings to lose tension and leading to severe oil burning. 2. Function: The oil used in motor vehicles, also known as engine lubricating oil, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, as well as assist in cooling and temperature reduction. The oil in a car is often referred to as the 'blood' of the vehicle. Engine oil consists of two main components: additives and base oil.
