What to Do if Great Wall 2.0T Engine Burns Engine Oil?
2 Answers
In the early stages of oil burning, some protective agents can be used for maintenance. If the vehicle has been used for too long and blue gas is emitted from the exhaust, it indicates a very serious condition where protective agents will no longer be effective, and a replacement at the 4S shop is necessary. Below are the impacts of oil burning on the vehicle: 1. Mechanical Wear: Insufficient engine oil affects the lubrication of the car engine, causing severe wear to all moving mechanical parts. 2. Cylinder Scoring: Low engine oil and poor lubrication can lead to excessively high engine temperatures, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring. 3. Bearing Scoring: Insufficient engine oil, especially when driving uphill, downhill, or at high speeds, can cause the oil pump to suck air, easily leading to bearing scoring and unnecessary losses.
Last time my Great Wall 2.0T engine also had oil burning issues, which really worried me since I rely on it for daily commuting. First I checked the oil dipstick, confirmed the level had dropped, then immediately stopped to inspect whether the seals and valve stem seals were aging - loose components can let oil leak into the combustion chamber. Then I switched to a more suitable oil grade and made it a habit to change oil regularly, checking every 5,000 km. If neglected, the engine can easily overheat and get damaged, driving up repair costs. I suggest first finding a reliable technician for diagnosis - don't tinker blindly yourself, there are many unreliable online tutorials. Timely action can save big money - now my car has been running fine for several months.
