What is the solution for the Peugeot 3008 burning oil?

In general, it is necessary to go to a repair shop for a "major overhaul." The cause of oil burning is usually due to oil leakage at the internal seals of the engine. Mixed with gasoline and ignited, it produces black smoke when expelled, and it is highly likely that the spark plugs need to be replaced. Engine oil burning is generally caused by improper fit between the piston rings and cylinder walls, among other reasons. It is recommended to contact the local 4S dealership.
The issue of burning oil has occurred in my Peugeot 3008. As a long-time driver of this car for several years, I first noticed blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, which is a typical sign of burning oil. The cause was either worn piston rings or aging valve seals, allowing engine oil to seep into the combustion chamber and burn. The solution was quite straightforward: first, I checked the oil dipstick myself. If the oil was depleting quickly, I had to top it up frequently as a temporary measure, but I didn’t delay for too long—I immediately went to a trusted repair shop and had the technician disassemble the engine for inspection. It turned out to be a piston ring issue, and after replacing them, everything returned to normal. Prevention is crucial. I recommend changing to synthetic oil every 5,000 kilometers to reduce engine wear, which can save money on major repairs and ensure driving safety. Regular maintenance is key—don’t let small issues turn into big problems.
