What is the solution for oil burning in Volvo V60?
2 Answers
The solution for oil burning in Volvo V60 is: 1. Replace the valve stem seals in time to ensure the sealing of the valves; 2. Regularly clean the carbon deposits on the piston rings or directly replace the piston rings; 3. Pay attention to driving habits and avoid overly aggressive driving in daily use. Taking the 2021 Volvo V60 B4 Momentum as an example: it is a medium-sized 5-door, 5-seat station wagon with a length, width, and height of 4761mm, 1850mm, and 1437mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2872mm, equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and a top speed of 180 kilometers per hour.
I've been driving a Volvo V60 for a long time and encountered oil burning issues, usually caused by piston ring wear or valve seal failure. First, check if the oil level is steadily decreasing. If the loss exceeds half a liter per 1,000 kilometers, it indicates a serious problem. Solutions include replacing worn piston rings or valve components, costing around a few thousand yuan; also, check if the oil pan seal is intact or if the PCV system is clogged. Regular maintenance can prevent this. It's recommended to use synthetic oil to reduce wear, and adding an oil additive can sometimes provide temporary relief. If you're handy, you can save some money by inspecting it yourself, but it's best to have it handled by a professional shop to avoid causing bigger issues. Volvo engines are finely designed, so if oil burning is detected, repair it promptly. Otherwise, it will increase fuel consumption and damage the engine.
