What is the solution for the Peugeot 3008 burning engine oil?

The solution for the Peugeot 3008 burning engine oil is to take it to a professional repair shop for maintenance. Reasons: Engine oil burning occurs when the clearance between the piston rings and cylinder walls is too large, the piston rings are improperly installed, or their sealing performance deteriorates, causing oil on the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning. Poor sealing performance of the valve seals, damage to the crankcase forced ventilation valve, or blockage of the crankcase ventilation port, which increases the pressure inside the crankcase, can also cause oil to enter the cylinder along with the crankcase gases and participate in combustion. Peugeot 3008: The vehicle's length, width, and height are 4435mm, 1840mm, and 1652mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2613mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and has a minimum ground clearance of 178mm. The 2019 Peugeot 3008 has a fuel tank capacity of 60L, a maximum torque of 245nm, a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension, a rear suspension of torsion beam non-independent suspension, and a maximum torque speed range of 1400 to 4000 rpm.
I also experienced oil burning issues when driving my Peugeot 3008. Later, I found the root cause was aging valve stem seals allowing oil to seep into the combustion chamber. Initially, I replaced them with an upgraded valve stem seal kit, costing about 800 RMB, and took the opportunity to clean carbon deposits from the throttle body. More crucially, switching to a 10W40 high-viscosity full synthetic oil effectively reduced consumption by 15%. I recommend checking the dipstick every 2,000 km - if it's below the midpoint, top up immediately to avoid cylinder scoring risks. Finally, I persisted with non-disassembly cylinder cleaning every 5,000 km, and after three consecutive treatments, the oil burning improved significantly.
My Peugeot 3008 started burning oil after 100,000 kilometers. Inspection revealed carbon deposits had seized the piston rings. The mechanic first used a borescope to confirm minimal cylinder wall scoring, then performed a three-stage treatment: soaking with piston ring release agent for 24 hours, switching to more fluid 5W30 low-ash oil for 200km before draining, and finally adding engine repair additive for continuous use. Now it consumes less than 0.8L per 5,000km - half the previous amount. Remember to frequently drive at highway speeds to flush carbon deposits, and avoid idling over 10 minutes.
