What to Do About Engine Oil Burning?

[AugustAnn]

Automobile oil burning can be resolved by repairing the engine, cleaning carbon deposits inside the engine, replacing damaged parts, and changing valve stem seals. If the situation is severe, a major engine overhaul may be necessary. It is important to address oil burning promptly when it occurs. Below are the reasons for automobile oil burning: 1. Poor valve sealing: Valves prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber, but over time, wear and aging can lead to poor sealing, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber more easily. 2. Increased piston clearance: Over long-term operation, carbon deposits form on the pistons, and some wear occurs. As time passes, the piston clearance increases, making it easier for oil to enter the combustion chamber. 3. Low oil viscosity: Using oil with too low viscosity can also cause oil burning. When oil viscosity is too low, it flows more easily and can enter the cylinder, participating in combustion. 4. Excessive oil volume: High oil pressure can force some oil into the cylinder, leading to oil burning.
