Hello, my civic burns oil, it eats one liter of oil in 700KM, thats a lot. Now, it doesn't smoke under normal rpm, at least I dont see it smoking, but when I rev it past vtec I can notice some smoke coming out, now its not super blue, since its cold season here, its mostly normal smoke as out of all cars but past vtec I can notice a light blue hint. Car drives fine though. So, I want to know what can cause oil burning issue in these little engines. Engine is D15 with D16 vtec head. I didn't do it myself. The engine has oil around it but from what it looks like the guys who did the engine didnt bother cleaning it at all because I was under the car and I didn't notice any leaks, also when I move it from a spot it was standing in I dont see any oil spots, so I assume if it has a leak it might be not the cause for that much oil usage. Mostly smokes on high RPM as I said. Let's share what can cause oil leaks. I suspect that my oil rings are busted but want to hear more reasons for that. Thank you in advance.

 

 

 

You'd be amazed how many dollars I've saved customers by making that recommendation. And I was "just a service writer". I even shocked the boss one day. He had a Saab turbo leaking oil at the crank seals and pan gasket. I said "how's the PCV?" His expression was priceless. 3 days work ended by a $19 part from Beck Arnley.

The poor little PCV. So important, often overlooked.
