ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of Engine Oil
o  The   engine  oil   consumption   is
strongly  effected  by the  viscosity
and quality  of oil, engine  rpm and
driving  condition  etc. The  engine
oil is more consumed under severe
driving  conditions   such  as   high
speeds  and frequent  acceleration
and deceleration than normal driv-
ing condition.
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and  cooling  the inside  of
the engine.
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal to about 1 liter(Gasoline
Engine)/1.2 liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.
Engine oil consumption
It  is  normal  that  an  engine  should
consume some  engine oil while  nor-
mal  driving.  The  cause  of  oil  con-
sumption in  a normal  engine are  as
follows;
o  Engine oil is  used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston  rings and cylinders.
A  thin  film   of  oil  is   left  on  the
cylinder wall when a piston  moves
downwards  in  the  cylinder.  High
negative  pressure generated  dur-
ing  engine operation  sucks some
of the oil into the combustion cham-
ber.
This oil  with some oil  of the cylin-
der wall is burned by the high tem-
perature combustion gases  during
the combustion  process.
