Car burning oil reason and solutions

The engine is the heart of the vehicle must be protected. The quality of the oil not only can reduce engine wear, increase engine efficiency, by OBD Diagnostic Tool to detect, but also to save fuel consumption, extended drain intervals and help keep the engine clean and prolong engine life, long-term performance of the engine as new.

There are three cases car burning oil
1, the valve seal leakage at the oil, because the poor quality of the valve seal, or the engine temperature is high, or exhaust vent is blocked leading to the greater impact of the valve seal.

2, Crankshaft ventilation mechanism can not be filtered out of the oil, leading to oil is sucked into the inlet, the only use Launch X431 V Pro or Launch X431 Diagun III tools to detect oil filter components, to eliminate failures or improve efficiency.

3, From piston engine oil leakage, for this performance, throttle only exhaust side have the carbon deposition, but the most damage, the main reason is lack of the inferior quality or process precision of piston and piston ring, under the turbine, the piston ring of gas oil energy is larger, the destructive force of the piston ring of piston is bigger, more heavy oil burning.

Overall, the engine burning oil to avoid is the use of qualified and suitable lubricants, and changed regularly. But note that the different cars engine design, therefore, in view of the model in different countries, the cost of repair and repair after the effect of the difference is very big. Universal significance and practical advice is to use good oil and regularly replaced.

Some burning oil was designed to be, this is actually the main part of the current owners complaints: obviously the vehicle does not have any fault, but the oil consumption is particularly large. So for the engine easy to have a fever, usually to use the Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 or Autel MaxiSys Mini MS905 tool to check the work condition, the regular check the oil consumption is normal, etc..

Regular maintenance and check car handbrake

In the big city in the congestion of the car, the vehicle before and after the gap is basically less than one meter, and the slope of the overpass is very large, parking brake is particularly important. However, due to various reasons, the handbrake will appear when no use. In the daily inspection and maintenance of the vehicle, don't forget to use Auto Diagnostic Tool to check the performance of regular handbrake.

First, determine the operating position of the handbrake lever. Generally, when the handle is pulled three-quarters of the entire trip, the hand brake system should be in a normal brake position. Should first find out the work point, the general 5~7 case is normal position. Then check the brake mechanism efficiency, also is have a look handbrake to work effectively. The car drove up to the steep, good road conditions of the slope, step on the brake pedal, the neutral gear, pull the hand brake handle to just to determine the position of. Slowly loosen the brake pedal, if the car did not happen sliding, that means the hand brake performance is good.

Check the handbrake sensitivity, since it is very important to the slope. On flat roads slow driving, slowly pulling handbrake handle and feel the sensitivity and the junction of the handle. If it is found that the brake braking efficiency or sensitivity is not ideal, can regulate the handbrake thread through Launch X431 PAD or Launch X431 GDS tools to solve.

Adjust the hand brake wire. If found in the test the brake is not sensitive, can be solved by adjusting the handbrake arrows, below the hand brake handle with an adjustable compensation institution. Adjust the need to remove the handle decoration cover first, then use tools to adjust the length of stay, in order to ensure the hand brake is in the best working state.

Ordinary driving, the handbrake usage is very high, but the handbrake is not universal insurance, its performance will decline with the increase of using the number of times. Most of the time, because the system failure or improper use and don't effect, this is also the major hidden danger of the accident, so owners should regularly use the Autel Maxidiag Elite MD701 or Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 tools maintenance check handbrake.

Cleaning the car what should pay attention to?

Wash the car is not just for the purpose of keeping car surface bright as new, a lot of time washing is intended to better protect the paint effect. But the seemingly simple car wash also prone to error, you can use the OBD Diagnostic Tool to easily check out the car problem.

Wash the car number should not be too frequent, otherwise it will accelerate paint oxidation, if the weather such as dust, dirt, rain, after the owner should to clean vehicles as soon as possible. Also, if a long time without washing car, the harmful material such as acid ingredients and dust in air erosion and adhesion, will accelerate the aging and damage to the car paint. Paint damage will make the body lose protection and oxidation of metal parts, causing the vehicle to earlier damage. Therefore, the car once a week is the best frequency.

When choosing a the sun is not very strong car wash is best, because the weather was there won't be because of the glare and bring damage to the car paint, and don't have to worry about because it's cloudy and residual moisture evaporation. Vehicle cleaning after the completion of inspection, It is best to use the Launch X431 V+ Pro3 or Launch X431 Creader VII+ tool to check the vehicle after cleaning, carefully check and wipe after pulled out of the vehicle cleaning area. This is because the body is not dry, machine cover, glass glue slot etc. easily attached to dust.

Many owners choose to do it yourself car wash, you should first select the car wash windless cool place, do not let the car in the hot sun or exposed to air, it should be noted once again choose the correct washing tools, wash the car before check whether Autel MaxiTPMS TS401 or Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 tools clean, at the same time, should master skills necessary in the car wash, wash the car at the beginning of the first wash car body in the sand, dust, etc., after the end of the car wash should wipe clean the car, use a towel to wipe should be separated with a car wash towels.

What are the effects of fuel additives

Market authorities released test report notes that only qualified additives can reduce fuel consumption, as well as increased power, maintenance engine, remove carbon deposits and other effects. In addition, The analysis of Auto Diagnostic Tool monitoring data shows that, after using the correct fuel additives, in the automobile exhaust hydrocarbon fell by 26.6%, a 19.7% drop in carbon monoxide.

Select the high quality additive, not only can serve to reduce fuel consumption, as well as maintenance of the engine, remove carbon, environmental protection and other effects. More importantly, it is the engine maintenance measures, can prolong the engine's service life. And the use of inferior additives. Black smoke from the rear of the car.

Additives by cleaning the carburetor or fuel injectors dredge, improve fuel flow to reduce fuel waste; and wherein the accelerant for a class of fuel additives are directly involved in the physical and chemical reactions in the cylinder in the engine can be effectively improved engine efficiency. So the fuel additives can still play a role fuel-efficient.

Fuel additives for gasoline and diesel fuel into two additives. Gasoline additive main component is an organic compound with cleaning, dispersion, emulsion, antioxidant, anti-corrosion, anti rust, lubrication, combustion, cleaning function. Not volatile, non-flammable, does not form secondary pollutants, storage safe.

Additives contained in the purification, has been adhered to in other parts of the heating surface grease, gum and carbon deposits in the combustion chamber of the role of pine, making it easy to be in the air in "clear", and after combustion exhaust. Activated molecules such additives added to the oil dispersant that would allow rapid diffusion of small molecules directly attack the oil molecules in the long chain carbon bond, causing complete combustion, improved engine power, fuel consumption is reduced. You can use the Launch X431 Creader VII+ or Launch X431 CResetter II tool to check the engine operating status.

Fuel additive also has many effects, such as:
First, remove carbon deposits, clean the fuel system
Second, enhance the performance of engine power
Third, to improve atomization, save fuel
Fourth, corrosion, rust, lubrication, protection engine
Fifth, reduce noise and wear and extend engine life
Sixth, the elimination of black smoke and reduce emissions

When you purchase fuel additives, to fully understand the composition and effectiveness of additives, buy some products with well-known and well preserve consumer certificate and service bills. Some products contain graphite, Teflon resin particles, fluoride, etc., likely to cause precipitation inside the engine, affect vehicle performance, try not to buy products containing these ingredients. You can regularly used Autel MaxiSys Pro MS908P or Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 tools to detect the vehicle performance.

Check the contents of the automobile brake system

Whatever the ultimate brake system is by the brake pad or brake shoe to complete brake function. Therefore, to check the thickness of the brake pads or brake shoes regularly. When they find it close to or less than the thickness of the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer, should be replaced immediately. Check the brakes at the same time, also check the brakes or brake drum wear, if use Auto Diagnostic Tool to check the contact surface dents, the need for timely disc or drum, to ensure the brake pads contact area improve braking force.

In addition also need to check the brake fluid level, if that brake fluid level is too low, should be appropriate to add brake fluid (must add the same brand of brake fluid, different brands of brake fluid in the brake after mixing pipe may corrode and affect brake effect), the height of the liquid should be maintained in brake oiler scale division line between the upper and lower bounds, and then use the Launch X431 Diagun III or Launch Creader VI tools to check the brake fluid working is normal.

Mainly from the maintenance of brake fluid brake fluid selection and replacement of two aspects, in the selection of brake fluid, depending on how the performance, the best buy brand name products, quality and security. If the brake fluid fouling, emissions from all brake fluid and flush the entire system, then use the new brake fluid filling cylinder.

Do not re-use brake oil, all be discharged from the system of the brake fluid should be discarded, if you continue to use the brake fluid in the case of deterioration, will be on the brake master cylinders, wheel cylinders, hydraulic control unit and other components It produced affecting the normal operation or even damage the brake and performance degradation or even brake failure. Cause accidents, affect the safety of personnel and passengers, so check the car's performance on a regular basis, Autel AutoLink AL609 and Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 is a professional tool for checking vehicles.

How to prevent automobile carbon deposition

Carbon deposition is spark discharge machining a manifestation of abnormal, therefore, should try to reduce vehicle carbon deposition by some Auto Diagnostic Tool.

First, Don't long time idle running.
Long idling time, the engine reaches normal temperature time becomes longer, the gasoline is injected into the valve back after the evaporation speed is slow, carbon also arises. At the same time often idling speed, air flow into the engine also small, so flushing carbon deposition action becomes very weak, will promote the accumulation of carbon deposition. You can use the Launch X431 GDS 3G or Launch X431 Diagun III tool to detection of carbon deposition.

Second, high-speed running, try to improve my hand car shift speed.
Run high-speed purpose is use air flow on the inlet to prevent carbon deposition. In addition, to improve the speed of the shift also run a high speed have the same role, in the original 2000 speed when shifting into 2500 conversion, not only can effectively prevent coke formation, it can also increase the power of the car, but also to avoid the change burst speed is too low to bring vibration block, protect the engine.

Third, pay attention to turn off car.
For cars fitted with a turbocharger, don't stop immediately after high speed or climbing, in idle running 10 minutes and then stop, because the car is equipped with a turbocharger which carbon formation rate than the average naturally aspirated car several times faster, you can use Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 or Autel Maxidiag Elite MD703 tools to detect the car's performance.

Three methods of self testing whether the car burning oil

Generally have the phenomenon of burning oil vehicle exhaust will have different degree of "blue smoke" symptoms, oil consumption increased significantly, a short period of time will have to add oil. Vehicles burning oil, it will lead to increased coke combustion chamber, economy cars, power drop, excessive exhaust emissions and other adverse consequences. Automotive expert introduces three methods of self testing whether the car burning oil, need to use the OBD Diagnostic Tool to detect, is simple and effective, may wish to try.

The first method is: when driving in the morning, the exhaust pipe appeared darker blue smoke, blue smoke disappear after a while, that day may not happen again, but the next day, the third day morning appeared This phenomenon, which shows that the vehicle has appeared the phenomenon of burning oil.

The second method is: When the vehicle is traveling,The driver stepped on the accelerator when the forced exhaust a lot of blue smoke, which shows a vehicle burning oil phenomenon has been more serious.

The third method is: In addition to the exhaust pipe to take blue smoke, you can see the blue smoke from the oil out mouth pulsation. In this case, engine damage has been very serious.

Once a car burning oil phenomenon occurs, it is necessary to go to 4S shop use the Launch X431 V+ Pro3 or Launch X431 GDS tools to detect and repair.

The poor sealing of the cylinder is mainly caused by the burning oil. Mainly with the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall is too large, the piston ring seal improperly installed or worse, oil on the cylinder wall into the combustion chamber, causing the phenomenon of burning oil.

Auto repair experts said, causing the vehicle to burn the oil with the driver's driving habits. the driver to develop good driving habits, while possible, choose a good quality oil, the appropriate use of a slightly larger engine oil viscosity to increase piston seal between the cylinder wall,; ground check the dipstick regularly change the oil and oil filter, Genuine spare parts to replace the oil filter; timely use Autel MaxiSys Mini MS905 or Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 tools to detect vehicle performance, can effectively avoid the phenomenon of burning oil.
