Driving habits and burning oil closely related to how to cure

Burning oil is very harmful to the vehicle

By LaughlinPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

 Burning oil on the vehicle is very harmful, not only will make the vehicle's oxygen sensor damaged too quickly, resulting in increased carbon in the combustion chamber, unstable idle speed, acceleration, fuel consumption, exhaust emissions exceeding the standard, and other adverse consequences, serious engine lubrication will be insufficient, so that the engine caused irreparable damage or even scrap, resulting in a substantial increase in maintenance costs, and even the potential for accidents.

Driving habits and burning oil are closely related to how to cure.

Normal oil consumption is nothing to worry about

Normal oil burning is not a cause for concern. So, what is normal oil burning? Normal engine oil consumption is necessary to maintain engine operation, engine oil consumption in the process of operation and "burn" gasoline is a normal phenomenon.

However, normal or not, there is a range of values, for most models in the new car after running 1000 km, small cars in good working conditions to maintain oil consumption in 1 liter / 1000L (burning 1000L of gasoline to consume 1L of oil), large cars within 2 liters / 1000L are normal.

That is to say, the vehicle needs to drive at least 15,000 km before consuming 1 liter of oil, so that is the normal oil consumption.

Choose the right viscosity oil

If the viscosity is not enough to form a complete oil film to ensure the seal between the piston ring and the cylinder wall, the oil consumption will increase. If the piston rings and cylinder walls are worn, a higher viscosity oil is needed.

Cool car burning oil means valve oil seal failure

The first time in the morning, the exhaust pipe appears with thick blue smoke, and after a while blue smoke disappeared, the day may not appear this situation, but on the next day, the third morning again this phenomenon, indicates that the vehicle has appeared burning oil phenomenon, this phenomenon is called cool car burning oil.

Acceleration burning oil that the piston or piston ring failure

In the vehicle driving or situ when the car, driver pressed the gas pedal when the exhaust pipe discharged a lot of blue smoke, which indicates that the vehicle burning oil phenomenon has been more serious, this phenomenon is called accelerated burning oil.

In addition, add oil mouth blue smoke indicates that the PCV valve or oil and gas separator has a fault.

Driving habits and burning oil are closely related

Generally, during the break-in period of a new car, the maximum speed should not exceed 90 km/h and the engine speed should not exceed 3/4 of the maximum speed, otherwise, it will lead to oil burning and even lead to long-term excessive oil consumption.

In addition, the poor quality of oil will also lead to inadequate combustion of gasoline, and the formation of carbon, resulting in the phenomenon of burning oil.

The car owner to develop good driving habits, at the same time as possible to choose good quality oil, old vehicles can be appropriate to choose a slightly more viscous oil to increase the piston, cylinder wall between the seal; diligently check the oil scale, regular replacement of oil and oil filter, replace the genuine oil filter spare parts; try to choose high-quality oil, etc., can effectively avoid burning oil phenomenon.

The root cause of oil burning parts needs to be changed

The most fundamental solution to oil burning is to repair and replace the worn parts, but the one-time investment is a bit larger, but the durability, reliability, and power recovery of the vehicle are guaranteed.

Vehicle every 20,000 kilometers for secondary maintenance to replace the air filter outside the filter, the inner safety filter should be replaced once every six months. Each maintenance should clean the air filter element.
