How to Solve the Problem of Oil Burning in Old Cars?
2 Answers
It is necessary to repair the vehicle's engine. First, the piston rings of the engine need to be replaced. Excessive wear between the piston rings and the cylinder will lead to oil burning. Replace the valve stem seals, change the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and clean the engine's throttle body. The oil used in motor vehicles is the engine's lubricant, which serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, and prevent rust and corrosion.
I've been driving old cars for over a decade and have seen many oil burning issues, usually caused by aging engine seals or worn piston rings. If the oil level drops too quickly, check it promptly and top it up regularly to keep things going. For a real fix, replacing valve seals or piston rings works well, but it does cost some money. Don't skimp on cheap parts—older cars can't handle the wear and tear. When my car was burning oil badly with blue smoke, I took it to a trusted repair shop for a thorough check. It cost over a thousand to fix, but with regular maintenance afterward, problems became rare. Always check the exhaust pipe for carbon buildup when parked—early detection means easier repairs, or you might end up with a dead engine and bigger losses.
