Q
why does my engine burn oil
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engines burn oil primarily due to worn components, leading to oil escaping past worn piston rings or valve seals into the combustion chamber, where it's burned alongside the fuel. Ageing or high-mileage engines are particularly prone to this issue. Furthermore, using incorrect oil viscosity can exacerbate oil consumption. To mitigate, regularly check and top off oil levels. Consider using oil additives designed to reduce consumption in older engines. In severe cases, a professional mechanic's assessment to repair or replace the worn parts is advisable. Regular maintenance and using manufacturer-recommended oil can help prevent excessive oil burning.
