We are with you with the Opel Astra H engine oil burning problem, by the way, we solved the oil burning problem of our vehicle, which is a 1.6 engine gasoline engine and burns 1 liter of oil in 1000 km. We also tried to touch on questions such as how to understand if the engine burns oil? in the video. The answer to the questions of how to prevent oil burning and what happens if it burns oil is also hidden in our video. Before coming to us, there was a misfire problem and oil loss problem. The traction loss in our vehicle was visible. It had a weak performance among 1.6 vehicles in its class. 1.6 misfire problem is a fault present in these vehicles. Why does the vehicle lose oil. Why does oil loss occur? GOOD WATCH .. Why Does a Car Lose Oil? Oil circulation has an important place in the technology and working principle of vehicles, and a certain amount of oil is necessary for the operation of the vehicle, especially in the engine section. Not using too much oil and circulating a certain amount is a result of the vehicle working principle, but in some cases, excessive oil use may occur due to various damages in vehicles. Loss of oil in a vehicle is a sign of a serious problem and means that the oil consumption rate of the vehicle has increased more than it should. If this loss of oil, which is necessary for the engine to operate, is not noticed in advance, a problem called bearing seizure may occur in the vehicle. Oil loss may occur for many reasons, from oil burning due to damage to the engine to improper oil use. How to Understand that the Engine is Burning Oil? If the smoke coming out of the exhaust is blue, you can understand that your vehicle is burning oil. However, gray smoke can also be an indication that oil is being burned. In addition to the color of the exhaust smoke, you can also understand that the vehicle is burning oil if air comes out when you open the engine cover. This air blowing situation occurs when the vehicle is still hot and is known as engine blowing. In this way, you can also understand that your pistons are worn. Another way to understand the oil loss problem in the vehicle is to measure the oil level. You can measure the oil level with the help of the oil dipstick by turning the ignition to the off position. An oil level below the mark indicating the required oil level indicates that your vehicle has this problem. There are many reasons for the oil loss of a vehicle. One of these reasons is that your engine runs at high speeds for long periods of time. An engine running at high speeds for long periods of time can affect the performance of your vehicle and cause oil loss. Another reason is that your engine pistons burn more oil than they should due to loosening over time. If the valves with absorbing properties and other elements in this system are damaged, oil loss may also occur. If you do not have your vehicle's periodic maintenance, such as the 1000 maintenance, the oil level in the vehicle will not be checked and the problems that occur will be ignored. This causes the oil level to gradually decrease and the thin layer of oil between the pistons to decrease, which then causes the parts to rub against each other and wear out. Similarly, this problem can be seen in vehicles over 20 years old, even if they do not exceed 500 thousand km. Does Vehicle Traction Decrease with Oil Loss? Since oil loss is a problem that prevents your vehicle from operating at full performance in second-hand or new vehicles and can damage other equipment in the same way, it should not be ignored. In vehicles that are losing oil or, in other words, burning much more oil, there is a noticeable decrease in driving comfort and performance. Due to engine problems that will occur as a result of the loss of engine oil, your vehicle's traction power will decrease and its performance will be affected. For this reason, you should pay attention to the things that can cause oil loss in your vehicle, check your vehicle's oil regularly and definitely not neglect periodic maintenance. Adding more oil to the vehicle than its capacity can also cause oil burning and indirect oil loss.
