You can tell an engine burns oil, when after 3 months the oil is less than half a quart down on the dipstick. This is very common in Dodge, Chrysler and Toyota, because they run at a warmer temperature than other vehicles.

How do you mix 2 cycle engine oil?

Look on the oil container and the engine that you want to use it in. The engine will tell you what ratio to mix the oil and gas at. The container of oil will tell you what amount of gas should be mixed with it. I have found that the best way is to put the oil into an approved gas can and then add the gas to it. This helps to mix the oil better.

When you put oil in the engine smoke comes out of exhaust?

Burning oil produces blue smoke. Generally, it's best to keep the oil in the crankcase and not add it to the intake as burning oil can damage spark plugs, O2 sensors and catalytic converters. If you're adding the oil to the crankcase but the engine burns the oil, it may be overfilled or you may have an engine or PCV problem.

You can tell this before an oil change. If you see blue smoke coming out the exhaust your engine is burning oil. If you're oil level is low and you have no oil leak your burning oil.
