Why Does the RPM Increase After an Oil Change?
1 Answers
Reasons for increased RPM after an oil change are as follows: 1. Oil is too thick: When the oil is too thick, the engine requires a higher idle speed, known as fast idle. At this time, due to excessive resistance, the fuel injection volume increases. Moreover, during fast idle control, its idle learning value needs to be adjusted upwards. 2. Excessive carbon deposits: High RPM is generally caused by excessive carbon deposit accumulation. Timely cleaning of the throttle and idle speed motor can usually resolve the issue. 3. Overfilled oil: If the engine oil is overfilled or an excessive amount of oil is accidentally added without proper handling, it may lead to oil burning, especially at high RPMs. This increases the engine's workload, resulting in faster engine RPM.
