Does heavy city traffic and long engine idling in Pakistan cause Changan Kalam to consume more oil than expected?

Stop-and-go traffic in cities like Lahore o r Karachi might strain the engine. How big a role does this play?

Yes. In cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, where:

Cars idle for long periods in traffic

Engines are constantly hot and under low airflow

Stop-start driving is common

...the engine is working hard without covering much distance, causing more oil stress and slight burning over time.

This usage pattern significantly increases oil consumption, especially in the summer months.
