How to Check if the Engine is Burning Oil?
1 Answers
Check if the engine is burning oil by the following methods: Cold engine oil burning: When starting the car for the first time in the morning, thick blue smoke will be emitted from the rear exhaust pipe. After a while, the blue smoke disappears, and generally, no similar situation will occur that day. However, the same problem will reappear the next morning, with no blue smoke produced under other conditions. If your car exhibits this symptom, it indicates cold engine oil burning. Oil burning during acceleration: When the driver sharply presses the accelerator while driving or idling, a large amount of blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe. In severe cases, the driver can even see the blue smoke from the side mirror of the exhaust pipe after sharply pressing the accelerator while driving. Oil burning under any circumstances: This situation indicates that the engine is severely worn and requires an engine overhaul. If not repaired in time, it may lead to serious potential hazards.
