It is either burning oil or leaking oil to use 6 quarts in 300 miles. In fact to loose 1 quart every 50 miles you would see lots of smoke. So if you see no smoke then it is leaking. No other explanation.

Where would the Oil leak in my 1992 Camry 2.2 L come from if it is not the oil pan or cylinder cover gaskets?

I have checked the oil pan and the cylinder cover gaskets and they are fine, the leak seems to come from the passenger's side of the motor, some of it is being burned but not enough for there to be smoke from the tailpipe. I cannot see any active leak or spray when the engine is running, but it has a steady small drip. I am loosing about 2 quarts/week, which is too much for an engine with only about 100K miles on it.

Blown cylinder head gasket. The engine burns water.


Why does your 2005 Duramax billow white smoke under power and use oil at 3 quarts per 100 miles?

White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. With the excessive oil usage, it sounds like this engine has been destroyed by this coolant. It has mixed with the oil, and has ruined the engine. Time for an overhaul.


When warm Car exhaust smokes?

Blue smoke = Blue smoke is caused by engine oil entering the cylinder area and being burned along with the fuel air mixture. Black smoke = Black smoke is caused by excess fuel that has entered the cylinder area and cannot be burned completely. Another term for excess fuel is "running rich." White Smoke = White smoke is caused by coolant entering the cylinder, and the engine trying to burn it with the fuel. The white smoke is steam. Warning: If you see white smoke, stop driving this car immediately. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive this vehicle. You have severe engine problems as in a blown head gasket or cracked head.


Why would a 1994 Saturn SL1 with 84K miles exhaust white smoke after starting?

Black smoke= rich condition(too much fuel and not enough air). Blue smoke = burning oil(engine components excessivly worn). White smoke= possible blown head gasket. Check oil to see if coolant is mixing in. Also check coolant level to see if it is loosing it. Have cylinder compression test done to verify head gasket problem. Other possibilities are a cracked cylinder head or engine block.


2000 Isuzu Trooper v6 with 100k miles uses 3 quarts of oil in 500 miles -no smoke no leaks - where did it go and how to stop it?

If the engine has done high miles, check for how much oil is in the air filter hose to the inlet to the motor. You could be using it here as it mixes with the fuel in the motor.
