How to Solve the Oil Burning Issue in DS5?

[Gail]

For older vehicles, using engine oil with higher viscosity is also an option. Oil burning refers to the situation where engine oil enters the combustion chamber of the engine. The maintenance cycle of a car is determined based on its normal usage conditions. It is advisable to shorten the maintenance cycle and the prescribed mileage according to the actual situation, and also try to avoid prolonged high-speed driving.

Having driven for decades, the DS5's oil burning issue is quite common, mainly caused by internal engine wear such as aging piston rings or failed valve seals allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber and burn. If you notice rapid oil consumption, check the dipstick immediately – exceeding 500ml per 1,000km is critical. Try switching to high-viscosity full synthetic oil to slow consumption; severe cases require an engine overhaul to replace seals, costing at least several thousand yuan. Regular oil and filter changes can prevent this. Don't wait for the warning light – blue exhaust smoke signals oil burning. This repair is expensive but early action saves major costs. Don't risk engine failure plus tow fees.
