Q
will adding oil stop engine knock
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Adding oil to an engine can temporarily mitigate engine knock in cases where the knock is due to low oil levels or insufficient lubrication. Engine knock, or detonation, occurs when fuel burns unevenly in the engine's cylinders, often due to improper fuel-to-air ratios, overheating, or low-quality fuel. Low oil levels can exacerbate these conditions, as proper lubrication is critical for maintaining efficient engine temperature and smooth operation of moving parts. However, it's essential to identify the root cause of the knock. If it's due to issues like worn bearings, carbon deposits, or advanced timing, merely adding oil will not solve the problem permanently and could delay necessary repairs. Always check the oil level first; if it's low, topping it up might help, but consider consulting a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis to prevent potential engine damage.
