TECHNICAL INFORMATION
A faulty air induction system is normally the major source of
silicon in engine oil. Antifoaming agents in engine oil normally
contain silicone which will give 3 to 7 PPM in new oil. Silicone
coatings may also be used in oil-wetted engine parts. Aluminum
and cast iron parts in the engine can have significant amounts of
silicon in their composition.
Piston rings and cylinder liners normally show the most significant
wear during operation.
The engine is liquid-cooled; therefore, ethylene glycol present in
the engine oil would indicate a leak in the coolant system.
Wear of end-thrust washers in turbocharger will permit rubbing of
the turbocharger hot wheel against the turbocharging housing. This
in turn will produce chromium, iron, nickel, and copper in the
engine oil.
