Engine oil burning can be the result of many causes.

  • Poorly seated piston rings can allow oil past the piston and into the combustion chamber, resulting in a lot of blue smoke. The piston rings will not seat if there is too much carbon build-up on the piston ring grooves or if the piston rings are just plain worn out, but that is typically caused by inadequate maintenance, specifically too long between oil changes.
  • Damaged or worn valve stem seals can allow oil past the valve stems and it can be sucked into the combustion chamber along with fuel.
  • A sticking fuel injector can result in too much fuel in the combustion chamber, causing the film of oil to wash off the cylinder walls and result in smoke.
  • Too much fuel can also cause black smoke, which is the result of running "rich".
  • A dirty air filter can result in too little air and again can cause the engine to run rich.
