From a driver's point of view who was struggling to understand frequent oil top ups needed and blue smoke when struck in the traffic and having some oil smell inside the cabin on some days and no visible oil leaks, some days car driving fine and on the days feeling a bit sluggish - this video is one of the greatest on RU-vid. If I was a king I would be so happy to make this guy the 😊general of my army😂
I got my car checked for a coolant leak but they said that i also needed my vlv seals replaced. Based on the information you provided that's the case. Thanks 👍🏾
@@MechanicBase As it turns out, compression is good and solid across all cylinders, so I am assuming that the valve seals are good and some other problem--perhaps crankcase ventilation issues--is causing the oil consumption problems I am seeing.
@@alfenner3309 I’ve only used 2 bottles. First time I put in 1.5 bottles and about 800 miles later when it needed a quart of oil added, I put the rest of the second bottle. I used to burn a quart every 400 miles and now it’s about 800 miles.
I have the impression that if the engine burns a lot of oil then a compression test should be done and if it is ok then something else is the culprit and they don't think that it could be bad oil rings. The engine on my car has overheated once so I think there is a high chance that one or more oil rings could be damaged because of that.
I like to know the following:1 spark plug 1&3 are whet Kar do. Idol smoothly but will not pick up refs . Blue smoke when starting smoke for 3minits an it is liter and so to say gone.🇿🇦
