What to Do If the Car Burns Engine Oil?

[MacHadley]

After the vehicle reaches normal operating temperature, if blue smoke is still coming out of the exhaust pipe, it needs to be addressed by replacing the piston rings. Aged or damaged valve seals are also a significant factor causing the car to burn engine oil, and new valve seals need to be replaced.

Recently noticed the car is burning oil? I've encountered this issue before—it's mainly about the engine oil being consumed unusually fast, right? The most likely culprits are aging valve stem seals or worn piston rings. I'd suggest paying attention to the exhaust color; blue smoke is a clear indicator. Don't rush into major repairs—try switching to a higher viscosity oil first, like 5W-40, which can help with sealing issues. If you're losing more than half a liter per 1,000 kilometers, it's best to visit a reliable repair shop for a cylinder compression test. By the way, for older cars, using a piston ring release agent can also help—my decade-old car was saved this way. For prevention, remember to change the oil filter regularly and avoid aggressive acceleration to protect engine components.
