What is the problem with blue smoke?
1 Answers
When a car emits blue smoke, it is a phenomenon caused by engine oil entering the internal combustion chamber, commonly referred to as "oil burning." This condition leads to reduced engine acceleration, increased noise, and prolonged wear on the cylinder walls. In severe cases, it can damage the entire engine. Solutions for oil burning include: 1. Using high-quality engine oil: Engine oil plays a crucial role in lubricating the engine, as well as cleaning, cooling, and temperature regulation. If the vehicle exhibits mild oil burning, using high-quality engine oil, preferably semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil if conditions permit, can help. 2. Cleaning the fuel system: Carbon deposits are a common occurrence during engine operation. Severe carbon buildup can obstruct piston movement, damage piston rings, and affect sealing, leading to oil burning. Cleaning the fuel system can alleviate carbon deposits and prevent oil burning.
