ENGINE BURNING OIL..

-

 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 Idling

Another potential cause of oil burning is excessive idling. If you let your car idle for long periods of time, the oil will start to break down and will not lubricate the engine as well. This can cause your car to burn through oil quicker than normal.


5. Driving habits


Finally, your driving habits can also contribute to oil burning. If you tend to drive aggressively or put a lot of stress on the engine, it will cause the oil to break down quicker. This can lead to your car burning through oil at an accelerated rate.


Tips for Dealing with Burning Oil at an Alarming Rate


If you find that your car is burning through oil faster than normal, there are a few things you can do to help mitigate the problem.


1. Check for leaks regularly


If you think that your car might have an oil leak, be sure to check for leaks on a regular basis. The best way to do this is to park your car on a level surface and then check the ground beneath the engine for any signs of oil.


If you do find an oil leak, the best thing to do is to take your car to a Scott’s Auto location nearest you and have us fix it.


2. Use the correct oil grade


As we mentioned before, using the incorrect oil grade can cause your car to burn through oil quicker than normal. Be sure to consult your owner’s manual or a mechanic to find out what grade of oil is best for your car.


3. Follow the recommended oil change interval


Another way to help prevent oil burning is to follow the recommended oil change interval for your car. Most cars will need their oil changed every 5,000 miles or so. However, this can vary depending on the make and model of your car.


If you’re not sure how often to change your oil, consult your owner’s manual or a mechanic.


4. Avoid excessive idling


As we mentioned before, letting your car idle for long periods of time can cause the oil to break down and will lead to increased oil burning. If you find that you need to let your car idle for extended periods of time, be sure to turn it off and on again every few hours to allow the oil to circulate.



5.Finally, try to drive responsibly whenever possible. Avoid excessive idling, hard acceleration, and sudden braking. These driving habits can put a lot of stress on the engine and will cause the oil to break down quicker.


If you follow these tips, you should be able to help prevent your car from burning through oil too quickly. However, if you find that your car is still burning through oil faster than normal, it’s best to take it to Scott’s Auto and have our team of professionals check it out. We will be able to pinpoint the cause of the problem and recommend the best course of action.
