This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is
burned by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
The engine oil consumption is strongly ef-
fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,
engine rpm and driving condition etc.
The engine oil is more consumed under se-
vere driving conditions such as high speeds
and frequent acceleration and deceleration
