In a month, naka 2.5 liters ako!!! pang add ko na oil is yung shell(red). ano po kaya problem. mali lang ba gamit ko oil or may tama na engine ko. di naman smoke belcher, at ganda naman hatak. pansin ko lang may usok na lumalabas pag open ko oil cap. help pls.

Bowlby na makina mo. Pa-overhaul mo na.

what does "blowby" mean?

Gusto mo mag-volunteer for Xado testing?

See the thread re: Xado.

Otherwise, overhaul or change engine na lang.

blow-by is a condition where the piston rings can no longer contain the oil from going up to the combustion chamber. The oil "blows by" the piston rings and gets combusted

Bowlby pala nalagay ko hehe.

pwede rin may oil leak pero i doubt it coz the poster did not mention it in his symptoms.

In overhauling the main target for replacement is the piston rings and/or cylinder liners and basically anthing worth replacing like journal bearings etc.

yun po ang masakit, i don't see any sign of leaks, can you give me an estimate kung magkano gagastusin ko sa overhaul(labor, parts, etc..)huhuhu

usually yung usok na nakikita mo lumalabas sa oil cap does'nt always say na blowby na engine mo. you mentioned na maganda ang hatak so blowby would be my last suspicion. wala ring leaks. you might do a tuneup muna sa engine mo before you decide a costly overhaul.

tune-up? what would a tune-up do to counter heavy oil consumption? what would you "tune-up"?

my brother owns an ae92 corolla. he experienced the same thing masyadong matakaw sa oil about the same as iliads case. the problem is city driving lang naman sya. ok naman din ang batak nung car. so we had a mechanic check it. mataas yung idling nung makina so he adjusted it. ngayon namamatayan naman sya. we replaced the fuel filter and air filter and cleaned the carb and fuel lines. yun ok na. after a month napansin namin di na sya matakaw sa oil. we suspected the high idling was the culprit. kasi pag mataas ang rev ng makina it will work harder causing more oil to be burned.

although maraming causes ng matakaw sa oil and since iliads owns an ae92 same as my brothers', i felt na he should tuneup muna yung makina b4 deciding to do a top overhaul or overhaul na tlaga.

one thing more, if an engine is blowby there will always be signs of leaks sa crankcase kasi yung blowby gases will force oil out kung saan sya pwedeng lumabas.
