How Does Pakistan’s Hot Climate and Traffic Conditions Affect Oil Consumption?

Extreme heat and heavy stop-and-go traffic in cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad can cause higher engine temperatures, leading to faster oil breakdown and increased consumption. Have Camry owners in Pakistan noticed higher oil consumption during summer months o r long road trips?

Pakistan’s hot climate and heavy traffic, particularly in cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, can significantly affect oil consumption. Extreme heat increases engine temperatures, which accelerates the breakdown of engine oil, leading to faster consumption. Stop-and-go traffic further exacerbates this by keeping the engine at high temperatures for longer periods. Camry owners in Pakistan often report higher oil consumption during the hotter months, especially in regions with long summers, o r during extended road trips where the engine is running at higher speeds for prolonged durations.
