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.
