Is your car burning oil too quickly, what could be the problem and solution?



Did you just put a new ring? If you do not hone the cylinders when you put on new rings, the engine still will drink oil. The cylinders might not even be round anymore due to piston slap and other damage. New valve stem seals is a half-measure.

The guides are worn out too big and sucking oil still. After you strip and rebuild the engine from the block up, you need to say a big prayer for the transmission, which is way overdue for an extended leave of absence.


Try a can or two of STP oil treatment. Take a look at the front seal and make sure oil isn't running out behind the harmonic balancer. The rear main seal is another story- and they did not live happily ever after...
You must have put on a new head gasket, but if the head is warped or cracked, that did little good. Maybe the car still looks good and the radio is awesome, but it needs a rebuilt engine.


Your engine may be burning oil tanks to worn piston rings. Your engine could also be leaking oil tanks to a bad gasket or cracked part. Or you could be losing oil through the head gasket into the cooling system. This can be an expensive repair. 

Check the following symptoms to see what your oil consumption problem might be.


Smoke in Exhaust /No Smoke in Exhaust /Coolant Brown and Foamy /Oil Puddles or Drips Under Car.





 When you burn a lot of oil really fast? It does not have time to change color to what you want to see, it becomes airborne immediately and floats away from the heat source, if you burned it slow and gradual and cooked it in the exhaust, you get the telltale blue, often valve seals and the beginnings of ring failure. You are burning oil on a grander scale, so you get that white/to yellow/ to brownish plume.


If they eat that much oil? And smoke pretty badly? Your piston rings could be gone. Lined up rings can do that too. I would find someone that can drop a crate engine in it or replace the car.
At least run base engine tests and look for the reading(s) that are giving the indication. 

Where does my oil go? In a big plume behind you as you drive.
If you have just changed the rings probably if it is the piston rings you need to seek a wise old mechanic. Even then, you may have to rebuild or replace. Your method of preparation, or assembly could have decided it for you already.


Pull the dipstick and check for signs of fuel smell! This means your AIR/FUEL MIXTURE is making the oil to thin with gas, so clean the throttle body and the valve idle air control to showroom clean! The 1./9 is the BEST small engine GM ever produced! 

The ECO TEC usually has CAST IRON LINERS in an aluminum alloy block and they separate over time! The ORIGINAL!> (is VERY DURABLE and long lasting! USE MOBIL ONE< use BOSCH or DENS PLUGS O IRIDIUM and NOT theJunker PLUGS that waste fuel and case ISSUES with fuel burning!


 The JAPANESE and Germans are the leading edge in auto technology! All air entering your engine is fined tuned and adjusted by the IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE! A dirty one will clog up the RINGS with sludge, and also ruin the AIR/FUEL MIXTURE enough to thin down the OIL you are using here! 

AC DELCO plugs are NOT even used in plug tests anymore and DELCO FILTERS are ALSO on the bottom of testing! I have racedthe 1.9 and it is very strong! Its replacement is why GM dumped SATURN along with the lousy TRANNIES GM used in them!
