High oil consumption
Increased oil consumption can have various causes:
Oil consumption via piston rings
Deposits on the piston rings severely restrict their movement. If a piston ring is stuck, there is no complete seal to the cylinder wall, which results in a loss of power coupled with increased oil consumption.
This can be remedied by our Motor Clean. This cleaning additive removes the deposits on the piston rings, ensuring their mobility.Oil consumption due to porous valve stem seals
Over the years and due to constant temperature changes, the installed valve stem seals lose the plasticisers they contain. The seals contract and become brittle. The consequence of this is reflected in increased oil consumption.
Special ingredients contained in our Motor Oil Saver allow the seals to swell up again, thereby restoring and guaranteeing the sealing effect.- Oil consumption due to increased wear
As the engine's mileage increases, compression can drop sharply due to component wear. To counteract this, a thicker oil is often recommended.
By using our Viscoplus for Oil it is not necessary to change the oil immediately, as this additive improves the viscosity class at operating temperature by approx. one SAE class upwards and thus ensures a lower compression loss due to the improved sealing effect of the engine oil.
