Sources and characteristics of oil consumption in a spark-ignition engine
type: CreativeWork
description: (cont.) At low load, oil flowing past by the piston was found to be the major consumption source, while the contributions of oil evaporation and of blowby entrainment became more significant with increasing engine load. Furthermore, an extensive study was conducted to measure and analyze the oil consumption behavior during engine load transients to simulate real driving conditions. This work is an important step in advancing the understanding of oil consumption sources in spark ignition engines.
