Limited Tendency to Produce Combustion Residue

During engine operation, a limited amount of oil enters the combustion chamber, where it is burned. Combustion residues or deposits, which build up in the combustion chamber, lead to unwanted increases in compression and promote surface ignition ("pinging"). Any appropriate engine oil will help prevent such a condition.
