This phenomenon occurs due to the aging of the valve stem seals. The solution is to remove the engine cylinder head and replace the valve stem seals. It is necessary to lift the engine out for major repair work. The repair time is approximately 2-4 days.

As a veteran driver with 20 years of experience, I find that oil burning is quite a common issue, usually caused by wear and tear of internal engine components, such as aging piston rings or valve stem seals, which leads to gradual oil consumption. The solution is to start with simple checks—monitor if the oil level drops too quickly and check if the exhaust pipe emits blue smoke. If the problem is confirmed to be serious, it's best to replace the worn parts. Doing it yourself can be challenging, so I recommend taking it to a reputable repair shop. Prevention is key—regular oil changes using high-quality brands, avoiding aggressive driving or long-distance trips can reduce wear risks. Don’t underestimate oil burning; excessive carbon buildup may lead to engine failure. Early detection saves money and ensures safety.
