usually from not enough servicing, the oil burns and gums up the rings this can be cleared out by using an engine flush or draining half your old oil and filling it up with diesel and letting it idle for about ten to twenty minutes,drain oil and fill with cheap oil this will give you an indication of how clean your system is,repeat if needed,run cheap oil for acouple of days,then change to a recommended high quality oil and chang every five thousand kms
