Peugeot 408 1.8 oil burning solutions are as follows: 1. Engine: Excessive wear of engine-related components can lead to excessive clearance, causing an excess amount of oil to splash onto the cylinder wall, far exceeding the oil ring's scraping capability. If the crankshaft bearing clearance is too large, oil will leak from one or more pressure-lubricated bearings. Replacing these main components can solve the issue. 2. Components: Improper assembly or failure of engine-related components can cause oil burning incidents. The main component, the valve stem seal, may fall off or age. Replacing the valve stem seal can resolve the problem. 3. Oil: Poor quality engine repairs or inappropriate selection of parts are one of the causes of oil burning. Replacing the parts or switching to high-quality oil can help.
