How to Check for Oil Burning?

[DiRyan]

Here is an introduction on whether the engine is burning oil: 1. The exhaust pipe is very black: First, clean the inner wall of the exhaust pipe, then wipe it again after a week. If the exhaust pipe is found to be very black, it indicates that the vehicle has an oil burning issue. 2. Blue smoke during cold start in the morning: Pay attention to the exhaust pipe outlet when starting the car cold in the morning. If blue smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe right after starting, it means the vehicle is burning oil. This method is best done with two people—one starts the vehicle while the other observes. The blue smoke lasts for a very short time and only appears after the vehicle has been parked for a long time. 3. Blue smoke during heavy acceleration: If blue smoke appears when the vehicle accelerates sharply or revs in place, but not during idle, this indicates oil burning, and the situation is already quite serious. Immediate repair is recommended. 4. Blue smoke from the oil filler port: If, in addition to the exhaust pipe, the oil filler port also starts emitting blue smoke, it means the symptom has reached a mid-to-late stage, and the oil burning is very severe. Immediate professional attention is required to avoid further damage.
