Why some engine burning oil?
If a motor is burning oil it means the rings and seals on the pistons are worn. Are you sure it's burning oil and not just leaking oil? Check your motor for leaking oil clean the engine. Cover your alternator with plastic and use degreaser to clean it. Once it's clean run the motor and look for leaking oil from the valve covers, from the head(s) and head gasket(s), from the oil pan and drain plug and from an oil cooler and oil cooler hose ( if your vehicle has one). If your vehicle is burning oil it will show up at your exhaust pipe as oozing black sticky stuff. Hopefully it isn't burning oil because if it is you need to have your motor rebuilt.
