burning oil why???

ebang · 05-13-2007, 02:20 PM

Ok...I got this car since February I did tune up oil change all that stuff..This Saturday was the first time I took it for a long drive...total 250kms. I decided to check the oil today and it was all gone!...What happened??. There is no visable oil leak to speak of that I can see or it would be all over my driveway. Anyone know why it would be burning that much oil?...How serious is this?...

Well, if you are burning oil its probably that your piston rings are worn and the oil is getting into the cylinders on top of the pistons where the combustion takes place and gets burned off when the spark plugs ignite the air/fuel mixture.

one other thing whenever I start it up in the mornings there is a hugh puff of blue smoke from the exhaust.

Agree, but to consume that much oil he probably also has a tired engine.
