Why does my car burn oil between changes?
A car that burns oil between changes usually has worn piston rings, leaking valve seals, a PCV system problem, or an external oil leak. Worn rings and seals let oil slip into the combustion chamber where it burns off, while leaks let it escape onto the ground or hot engine parts. Some high-mileage and certain European engines consume a little oil normally, but a noticeable drop between changes deserves attention. Running low on oil is dangerous because it can cause severe engine wear or failure, so you should check your level regularly if you suspect consumption. Miami heat thins oil and can accelerate consumption in an already-worn engine. A proper inspection distinguishes a simple fixable leak from internal wear and tells you how serious it is. Motoro Cars diagnoses oil consumption accurately across 40+ brands and recommends the right fix for your situation.
