What terrible consequences can the constant topping up of engine oil lead to

Unfortunately, many modern motors suffer from increased oil appetite. Drivers usually solve this problem by simply topping up engine oil. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the consequences of such a harmless, at first glance, procedure.

If the “maslozher” is obvious, then the problem cannot be ignored. If you just add oil regularly, you can make a mistake and overfill the lubricant. Then it will begin to seep through the rubber seals and seals, and some sensor or electronic unit will eventually suffer from such leaks. And if grease gets on the timing belt, it can lead to its breakage.

It is important to take into account the fact that constant topping up of lubricant is not so harmless as it seems at first glance. In this case, the new grease is mixed with the old one, quickly becomes contaminated, which reduces its performance. In this case, both the base of the oil and the additives in its composition degrade. Add to this the operation of the motor in hot weather and high loads, and we get that such a lubricant is already after 4 - 000 km of run is not able to fulfill its protective functions. As a result, scoring appears in the motor, and deposits are on the valves, which can bring it to a major overhaul.

Some drivers are sure that if you change the oil filter more often, this can prevent the rapid aging of the lubricant. Actually, it is not. Say, when driving at high speeds, a significant part of the oil will go through the filter bypass valve, along with accumulated dirt, bypassing the filter element. Therefore, not only the rubbing parts of the engine suffer from dirt, but also the oil pump.

A strong oil burner also contributes to engine coking. Tar or varnish deposits gradually form in combustion chambers, on pistons and piston rings. Because of this, the rings inside the piston lose their mobility and, as the servicemen say, “lie down”. As a result, compression drops in such an engine, and the amount of oil that enters the cylinders increases. It turns out that the oil appetite of the motor becomes greater, and fuel consumption is also growing.

Therefore, if you saw that the engine began to “eat” oil, first look in the service book. It says the usual consumption of lubricant for waste. If it exceeds the norm, go to the service for diagnostics. This will help delay serious problems with the unit.

Another serious problem that often occurs when adding oil is the lack of data on what kind of lubricant is currently in the engine and what it can be mixed with. Well, if you still have a canister from it, or at least a label, but if not?

In order for drivers to “resolve” such a problem, the chemists of the German company Liqui Moly developed an original product - Nachfull Oil 5W-40 universal top-up oil. This lubricant is produced using hydrocracking technology, which allows the production of materials that meet the specifications of various car manufacturers. That is why Nachfull Oil 5W-40 is suitable for all types of engines and, thanks to its unique formulation, can be added to any commercial oils.

This eliminates engine damage if the level of "native" lubrication is insufficient. The versatility of the product is supported by a wide list of approvals issued by such giants of the automotive industry as BMW, Ford, Mercedes, Porsche, Renault, FIAT, etc. According to experts, Nachfull Oil 5W-40 has a high oil film stability at high and low temperatures, excellent anti-wear properties and excellent pumpability. All this guarantees its rapid flow to all parts of the engine.
