A representative of AVTOVAZ on VKontakte explained that the oil consumption by the Lada engine is accounted for in its design and is necessary to prevent engine damage. Oil consumption occurs through piston rings and valve seals as well as through the crankcase ventilation system. The amount of consumption is influenced by engine break-in conditions, oil characteristics, frequency of oil changes, ambient temperature, driving style, and vehicle travel routes. Car owners are advised to visit a service center for diagnostics when exceeding normal oil consumption levels. AVTOVAZ emphasized the importance of regular checks of the oil level and timely maintenance of the engine.
