 How to Stop Engine From Burning oil The most straightforward way to fix a car that burns oil is to tackle everything causing it to burn oil. This should be done after carrying out a proper diagnosis. Whether the leak is internal or external, the important thing is, that you are losing oil which isn’t good for your engine or pocket. To fix a burning oil car; 1.Replace blown head gaskets 2.Ensure you fix anything causing engine overheating.  3.If your car consumes oil due to high performance, always check and top it 4.Replace bad spark plugs 5.Fix the worn ring pistons 6.Use the right types of oil 7.Fix a damaged oil pan By.Joseph Mujungu

 1. Leaks One of the most common reasons for oil burning is simply leaks. Over time, seals and gaskets can degrade, leading to small leaks. These leaks might not be immediately apparent, but they can add up over time, causing your car to burn through oil faster than it should. 2. Incorrect Oil Grade Another common cause of oil burning is using the incorrect oil grade for your car. Each car has specific requirements for the type of oil that should be used. If you use a lower grade oil than what is recommended, it will break down faster and won’t lubricate the engine as well, leading to increased friction and heat. This can cause your car to burn through oil quicker than normal. 3. Worn Piston Rings Another potential cause of oil burning is worn piston rings. The piston rings seal the gap between the pistons and the cylinder walls. Over time, they can wear down, causing oil to leak into the combustion chamber. This will cause your car to burn through oil faster than normal. Excessive Idl

  If you are running on a tight budget, fuel consumption must have been a concern for you. If you are not careful, poor fuel consumption can cost you a lot of money. Keeping a check of some key aspects can help you in drastically improving the fuel consumption of your car. Cars can return different fuel consumption figures based on many aspects that we are going to discuss in this article. If your car is not returning the expected fuel consumption, do check the following points to figure out what can be a possible problem. Poor Quality Engine Oil  Viscosity grade of engine oil is something that you have to keep in mind before buying engine oil for your car. Using the wrong motor oil for your car can lead to greater fuel consumption. This is due to the fact that the pistons and other moveable parts of your engine move less freely. This puts undue stress and pressure on the engine, which results in the engine consuming more fuel than necessary. Consult your car’s owner’s manual or visit

​ BLACK, DARK COLOR One tall-tale sign that transmission fluid needs to be changed is the color. Transmission fluid typically has a pink-red color, but as it ages, it begins to darken before eventually turning black. So, pop your vehicle's hood and pull the dipstick from the transmission, inspecting its color. If your transmission color is black or dark brown, it's probably a good idea to replace it. DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEAR If your car fails to shift gears properly -- whether it's an automatic or manual transmission -- it could be a sign of bad transmission fluid, in which case you should change it ASAP. Clean transmission fluid flows more freely through the transmission. When debris accumulates inside it, however, the fluid turns into a sludge-like consistency, making it difficult to reach all of the internal components of the transmission. And when this happens, it may cause resistance or other problems when attempting to shift gears. SURGING When transmission fluid beco

​ RADIATOR CAP Cross your fingers and hope this is the cause of your engine's overheating, because it's the cheapest and easiest fix. The radiator cap is designed to seal the radiator, allowing pressure to build up within the vehicle's cooling system. If it fails to create an air-tight seal, however, pressure will reduce, which in turn lowers the boiling point of coolant while subsequently rendering it ineffective at cooling the engine. THERMOSTAT The thermostat acts as a valve, opening and closing to either allow or prevent coolant to enter the engine. It performs this operation by measuring the temperature. When the engine becomes hot, the thermostat's valve opens. But it's not uncommon for old, worn-out thermostats to remain stuck in the closed position, restricting coolant from reaching the engine. RADIATOR Of course, another possible cause of engine overheating is a faulty radiator. Featuring fines and tubes, the radiator blows heat away from the engine. If it&
