What is the reason for oil coming out of the diesel engine exhaust pipe?
1 Answers
The reasons for oil coming out of the diesel engine exhaust pipe are: natural wear of the power system, excessive clearance between piston rings and cylinder liners, possible overfilling of engine oil, and excessive pressure in the engine compartment. A diesel engine is an engine that obtains energy release by burning diesel fuel. It was invented by German inventor Rudolf Diesel, and to commemorate this inventor, diesel is represented by his surname 'Diesel'. Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (function of detergents) from the engine.
