What is the normal amount of engine oil consumption?
1 Answers
Engine oil consumption less than 1% of gasoline consumption is considered normal. Here are specific factors affecting engine oil consumption: 1. Oil viscosity: Lower viscosity oil has relatively poorer sealing performance, leading to increased amounts being drawn into the combustion chamber. 2. Driving conditions: High-speed driving and frequent acceleration/deceleration will increase oil consumption. Different working conditions result in varying oil consumption levels. 3. Engine break-in period: Oil consumption is relatively higher during this phase. 4. Poor fuel quality: This can easily cause carbon deposits to form in piston ring grooves, potentially leading to stuck piston rings over time; oil rings may lose their oil-scraping function, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber through the gap between pistons and cylinder walls, resulting in genuine oil burning.
