7. Oil Consumption
Function of Oil
The main functions of oil are to cool and lubri-
cate the engine internally and keep the engine
in proper working status.
Usually, engine consumes some oil. Normally,
the reasons of oil consumption are:
Engine oil lubricates piston, piston rings
and cylinder. When piston is moving up
and down in the cylinder, a thin oil film is
left on the wall. When decelerating, some
oil will be suctioned into the combustion
chamber by high negative pressure. The
oil, as well as the oil film left on cylinder
walls is burnt by high temperature flaming
gas in the process of combustion.
Engine oil also lubricates intake valve
stem. Some of the oil is suctioned into the
combustion chamber together with airflow
and burnt with fuel. High temperature
