AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/08 Report--

Recently, due to the frequent cases of oil cover emulsification in some Toyota models, many car owners have paid attention to it. However, in addition to such problems with Toyota owners, even Lexus has similar problems.

Lexus owners have also carried out a "self-test" due to the continuous fermentation of Toyota's recent "oil emulsification" incident, according to a Weibo netizen. Unexpectedly, when the owner went to the Lexus 4S store for secondary maintenance, he found that his vehicle was also emulsified in oil, and filmed a video showing that the oil cover of the machine also had a layer of white "liquid". The situation looks more serious. According to the owner, the vehicle involved is a Lexus ES300h.

Although Lexus is a luxury brand, it is owned by Toyota and naturally uses Toyota's technology, and the Lexus ES300h, as the top matching model of the ES series, shares a common feature with Toyota's involved models, such as the Asian Dragon, RAV4 and Camry, which are all powered by hybrid gas and electric engines with 2.5L self-priming engines.

It's not just the emulsification of the oil cap, but according to the third-party complaint platform, the problem of increased oil is on the Lexus ES.

It is worth noting that since the beginning of this year, Toyota Motor Group has announced that it will recall more than 3.2 million vehicles worldwide, including the 2020 Toyota Avalon hybrid, Camry, Camry hybrid, Lexus ES 300h, and 2019-2020 Toyota RAV4 and RAV4 hybrids.

In addition, Toyota said in a statement that the affected vehicles may have been installed with a faulty engine block, so it may have caused coolant leakage in these vehicles.

The oil cover emulsification, the main reason is that there is a liquid into the oil, resulting in oil deterioration, specific is what kind of liquid, there are different situations. The problem of oil emulsification not only affects the power performance and fuel economy of the whole vehicle, but also aggravates the wear degree of the engine, so oil emulsification is definitely abnormal. In the case of an increase in engine oil, it is generally possible that ingredients such as water or gasoline enter the fuel tank, resulting in a higher oil ruler.

Therefore, some industry insiders speculate that the increase in engine oil or oil emulsification in Toyota models may be caused by coolant leakage into the engine oil. However, the specific situation still hopes that Lexus or Toyota will find out the cause and solution as soon as possible.

Even under the domestic "price increase" public opinion, Lexus is still able to achieve continuous sales growth, precisely because of its reputation of "ingenuity", but with Toyota to Lexus brands have such a situation, it should not be true. After all, Lexus, which is under the influence of price increases, should give consumers enough trust. However, at present, there are still few similar problems in Lexus, maybe Lexus owners can pay attention to it.

2019 has been a bright year for Lexus. Although there is still a big gap between the total sales of 200000 vehicles and the first-tier luxury brand BBA, the luxury brand with the highest sales growth has achieved 25 per cent growth in the Chinese market.
