Now on the car market there are numerous used cars of different classes, which are sold for quite affordable money. However, availability does not mean that the car will be without problems. For example, he can “eat” oil in liters. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the most problematic cars that need to be periodically refilled with “slurry”.
A typical situation: after diagnosis of the engine everything appears to be OK with the engine, it idles smoothly, but likes to “eat” oil. Let’s see what is the reason, and what affordable foreign cars often suffer from this.
In fact, the list of cars is very long. We have selected the most popular. Let’s start with our well-known model – Opel Astra G. You can now buy one for 250,000 rubles, which is insanely cheap. The most popular 1.6-liter engine in Russia suffered from increased oil consumption because the machine did not fully install the oil seals even during the production of the power unit. As a result, the car suffers from increased lubricant consumption, while a reliable naturally aspirated engine runs under the hood.
German motorcycles are traditional slime lovers. Among them, we highlight the 1.8 TSI engine, which was installed on many models of Audi, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen. In our market, “folk” cars such as the second generation Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Passat B7 are often found with it. They give a million rubles for it. The reason for the high oil consumption here is the oil separator, which releases a large amount of oil vapor into the crankcase ventilation system. The system slowly gets polluted and that’s where problems arise.
From the premium, which is now on sale for 500,000 – 800,000 rubles, we highlight the BMW 5 series. In 2008, this sedan received a gasoline engine with the N63 index. He became the record holder for lubricant consumption. The consumption stated by the manufacturer is one liter per 1000 kilometers. What can we say about the fact that used copies “eat” much more.
Let’s not forget the Japanese cars. Here we highlight the sixth generation Honda Civic. These 16 valves have an increased appetite due to specific settings. Engineers made it at high speed so that the efficiency was higher. Therefore, the oil level must be checked constantly.
