What to Do When the Wuling Zhiguang Engine Burns Engine Oil?

Promptly replace the valve oil seal to ensure the valve's sealing performance. Directly replace the car's piston rings. Of course, it is still necessary to regularly clean the carbon deposits on the piston rings, which is a way to prevent engine oil burning. First, prepare a medical syringe and connect it with a plastic tube used for intravenous drips. Then, pull out the oil dipstick and insert the plastic tube into it.
I've been driving the Wuling Zhiguang for many years, and burning oil is a common issue. It's usually caused by worn piston rings or leaking valve stem seals, which are signs of an aging engine. When this happens, I first check the dipstick to see the oil consumption rate: if the oil level drops quickly after driving 200 kilometers a day, it's a serious problem; if it's slower, it might be a minor issue. I've tried adding some oil additives to temporarily alleviate the problem, but that's only a stopgap measure. The best solution is to have a mechanic disassemble the engine to inspect the rings or seals and replace them, which usually fixes the issue. Wuling Zhiguang parts are cheap, and you can usually get it repaired at a local shop for a few hundred yuan. Don't wait until the problem becomes severe—if the engine seizes, it will cost much more. Remember to maintain your car regularly, change the oil every 5,000 kilometers, and be diligent to prevent issues. Burning oil not only increases fuel consumption but also affects performance, so safety is paramount.
