The referenced SAE paper talks about the compression release valve used in commercial trucks for engine braking -- the so-called Jake Brake.  The second response says it is due to higher engine speed. The actual reason oil consumption increases when a passenger car engine is used to brake the vehicle ...

Answer to Simeon Iliev about engine braking and oil consumption: If you are engine braking there is a possibility of using oil because it causes the engine rpms to be higher. This in turn causes more of the oil to vaporize in the crankcase which will be evacuated by the emissions systems. This is also ...
