joiede

has 155,000 and is using oil, no leaks, no smoke. has anyone has this problem and did you repair it and how

Steve Elias

it's normal/expected for an engine with 155k to burn some oil. to reduce oil consumption in an older engine, repairs would usually include replacing pistons/piston-rings. mechanic can pressure-test each cylinder individually to see how bad the rings have degraded and whether they are leaking so badly that some cylinders are below proper compression spec.
