The increased consumption of lubricant material in the engine is a fairly common phenomenon and therefore interests almost every driver. This article will tell you how the consumption of motor oil is considered the norm and for which reasons its level is reduced.

Causes of increased oil consumption

You can identify a whole system of reasons for which it rises or, on the contrary, the level of engine oil is reduced. All this significantly affects the work of the motor itself, and the oil consumption in the engine is the only parameter that the driver itself can appreciate. To do this, you need to measure the measurement yourself, applying a special probe.

The quality of engine oil and its effect on increased flow

The quality of lubricant does not directly affect its consumption. Professionals in this area recommend evaluating the quality of oil in the engine according to its ability to neutralize acidic components, which are formed from combustion of fuel. The anti-corrosion activity of motor oil is given and the anti-corrosion activity of the engine oil is attached, as well as how efficiently the lubricant makes its main functions, namely dispersion and washing a variety of components. However, the most important is the quality assessment, which allows to determine how oil in the engine prevents wear of the engine elements and makes it minimal.

Oil consumption for avgar

The consumption of engine oil on the avgar occurs when the engine oil directly enters the combustion chamber and burns with fuel. In addition, during operation, in each internal combustion motor, a partial consumption of this lubricant is created, which is directly related to the specifics of the mechanism and the operation of the device.

For example, in a cylinder-piston group, the engine oil serves to reduce friction between moving surfaces, it also cools the parts and creates the required seal between them. It is applied to the surface of the piston rings and the cylinder, and when the working stroke tact, the oil-giving rings eliminate its surplus.

SIZY smoke from exhaust pipe, causes and elimination

The avgar oil itself in the engine is quite easy to recognize. With it, it is observed with a gray smoke in exhaust gases, which is not found during the combustion of high-quality fuel. However, it is not necessary to confuse this phenomenon with a black smoke, which indicates a problem with the injection system. In addition, an explicit symptom of combustion of lubricant can be called a black oily edge, which is formed along the edges of the exhaust pipe.

It is much more difficult to find out the reasons for the combustion of the engine oil, as without opening the engine, it is impossible to do it. There are several inexpensive and simple ways to combat ugar.

First, it is necessary to determine which motor oil consumption is intended for a particular engine. In other words, how many lubricants should be treated in the motor.

Secondly, you need to know that the number of burnt engine oil directly depends on the mode of operation of the automotive engine. If the motorist constantly uses high speed, it means that the lubricant will burn more. This is an ordinary physics law - the higher the turnover, the more the temperature of the motor and oil becomes.

Thirdly, the oil flow rate in the engine should be taken into account in the specifications of a certain production of vehicles, and each specific modification of the motor must be reflected in the car documents.

Causes of oil combustion

There are a number of major reasons, in view of which the increased combustion of the engine oil follows.

First, quite often, such combustion occurs due to the unsuitable oil, which is poured into the vehicle. For example, lubricating material through a low viscosity CHUR in accordance with the motor is characterized by the combustion property, and the engine oil through a low viscosity is accumulated on the inner walls of the machine unit. Both in the first and in the second cases, oil loss will be essential.

Secondly, oil pumping caps are able to wear out over time. The causes of such wear can be called inappropriate oil in the engine or sharp temperature differences.

In third, often the cause of combustion can be the oil-circulation rings that were worn out. According to experts, in this case, it is necessary to cut the rings. However, to solve the problem, you can also replace the rings and make an overhaul of the engine.

In addition, the causes of the combustion of the oil can be the production or wear of the inner surfaces of the cylinders, the large pressure of crankcase gases or the yield of the compressor is out.

Increased oil consumption, appeared to flow through gaskets, how to eliminate

For example, for V 6 and V 8 engines, the consumption of one liter of engine oil per thousand kilometers is the norm. However, the engine of the row mines should not spend such a number of lubricant material. It all depends on the model of a particular engine. It should be remembered that any motor, even the most new, in any case will spend oil, because without it he will not be able to work, and can not be different.

By the way, most drivers advise simply topping the oil into a worn motor, and not to produce overhaul. However, it helps not in all cases.

There are several factors that are also able to influence the consumption of engine oil:
1. Stil ride.

2. Pressure in the crankcase.

3. The quality of lubricant material.

4. The correctness of the settings and adjustment of the motor.

5. Proper selection of motor oil, respectively, with a specific engine.

6. Compliance with replacement.

7. Clamps in a cylinder-piston group.

8. Violated tightness in the connection places.

If you have detected the drone of engine oil, the replacement of the glands, gaskets, etc. There are several places from which the lubricant can flow from the seals of the camshaft and crankshaft, from the gasket, which is located under the oil filter, from the rear seal of the crankshaft, from the gasket The valve cover and from the laying of the head of the cylinder block.

In the case of leaks from the gasket of the valve cover, which is located on top of the motor, the lubricant drums will be clearly seen on the outer side walls of the device. Through such a gasket can not find a lot of engine oil, but still it is worth taking care of tightness.

When leakageing the oil from the cylinder head laying, which is located on top of the motor, it will come out. It is important that on V-shaped engines, two such gaskets, like the GBC. Gaskets may have damage in a variety of places, also lubricating material can go into the cooling system if part of the gasket is broken, which is located between the working cylinders and the openings of the cooling system. In this case, the motor will be dry, and the motor oil will be difficult to detect. In addition, it is possible to define such a problem in the color of the coolant, which will change the shade and becomes muddy. Also, the engine oil will begin to foam, which can be easily seen on the lid of the neck, through which you pour into the engine oil, and to be more accurate, then on its inner surface. With a similar problem, it is impossible to lose a second and immediately decide, because the motor can fail.

Talking from the glands is almost impossible to notice if you open the hood. The problem may indicate stains on the inner surface of the ceter protection. Such a breakdown should also eliminate instantly.

To see the crankcase pallet strips can be removed using a jack. Check for this problem follows when replacing lubricant material.

As for the rear seal of the crankshaft, it is located at the entrance of the crankshaft in the gearbox. In most cases, when it is replaced, it is necessary to remove the gearbox, as if it is unrealistic to see it. You can reveal such a flow by subteps that are located at the bottom of the motor.

If the gasket was worn under the oil filter, then it is quite difficult to replace it. It all depends on the quality of the filter and its correct replacement. Although there are many and other nuances.
