The permissible consumption of engine oil by the engine is 5-10 grams per 100 liters of gasoline burned. If the engine is already “like this”, then the fork expands from 25 to 100 grams of fat. This is if we talk about atmosphere. Turbocharged units are more voracious. However, up to 80 grams of lubricant per hundred liters of spent “fuel” is quite an acceptable phenomenon.
It is much worse if you have to add at least 1 liter of oil to the engine for every thousand kilometers traveled. What German cars, by the way, often sin, also premium. But if this is not enough for a car, then it’s time to go to a service center, even better – get rid of a budget sucking car.
And yet, why even modern cars often suffer from “oil burning”? As we said, the car owner himself is often responsible for such a phenomenon. Let’s look at a few reasons. And the first lies in the dubious grease that our compatriots often pour into their cars in order to save money. Like, why overpay for the original, when it’s cheaper, but comparable in performance, the slurry comes in fine too. Yes that’s right. But for now, for now.
The additive packages of different manufacturers differ from each other, and the technical indicators of the engines also differ. For example, if one tries to pour viscous oil into an old foreign car after 100,000 kilometers in order to improve its properties and extend its service life, then in some modern cars, even from the factory, the units are initially fed with lubricants with a very high low viscosity. As a rule, we are talking about powerful turbo engines. For example, in cars from Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo. In other words, flooding anything else can cause the engine to resort to “executions”. Including those associated with excessive oil consumption.
Driving off-road and in difficult climatic conditions, when the engine experiences more mechanical stress, can also lead to increased lubricant consumption. Frequent overheating, speed in the red zone, slipping and permanent kickdown – all this will quickly lead to the fact that you will have to stop at almost every gas station to top up engine oil. Yes, what is there: even a dynamic ride with a trailer will easily come back to chase the driver with an “oil burner”. Everything, as they say, should be done wisely. You are not allowed to demonstrate your homegrown racing skills to others, especially not on a car loaded to the impossible. It will cost you more!
If you want to save both the engine and money, you should follow the recommendations of car manufacturers that specify tolerances and other technical requirements for engine oil, including consumption for waste. And if these parameters deviate, it is better to send the “iron horse” for diagnostics without delay.
