The real reason for the Peugeot 408 burning engine oil is poor cylinder sealing, which allows oil to seep into the cylinder through the cylinder wall. Here are specific details about burning engine oil: 1. Hazards: Prolonged burning of engine oil reduces the oil level, worsens the lubrication system, increases wear, and reduces cooling efficiency, making the engine prone to overheating. The cleaning effect of the oil on the engine also deteriorates. 2. How to check if the engine is burning oil: Regularly inspect the engine oil level. After the vehicle has been stationary for a while, pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it clean with a tissue, reinsert it, then pull it out again. The level should be between MIN and MAX to be considered normal. After starting the engine, observe the exhaust for blue smoke and check the exhaust pipe for blue oil residue.
