Why is my Chevy Silverado 1500 burning so much oil?
Many Silverado 1500 drivers reported that they noticed abnormal noises coming from the engine or that the truck felt like it was bogged down. Much to their surprise, they would be 2-4 quarts of oil low when they took it in for regular oil changes. There would be no sign as to where the oil went, like an unusually smoky exhaust.
Can a bad valve seal cause blue smoke?
If the valve seals wear out, the oil can find its way into the crankcase combustion chamber. The first symptoms of this are your car emitting blue smoke. You should have the valves fixed as soon as possible to prevent further engine trouble. You can learn more about this here: Bad valve seal symptoms.
What causes oil to get stuck on spark plugs?
A faulty turbocharger is also pretty common when it comes to oil on spark plugs. When the oil leaks from the turbo inlet compressor sealings, it goes through the combustion chamber and gets stuck on the spark plug. This can also be caused by bad crankcase ventilation, so make sure to check it first.
What to do if your engine has oil in it?
Check your intercooler in your car, and if the intercooler and intake pipes are full of oil, it is a big chance that your turbocharger failed. The Valves play a vital role in the combustion chamber by regulating the inflow of air and fuel while controlling exhaust gases’ outflow. Fuel, oil, and coolant should not mix at any time in the engine.

What happens when you put too much oil in an engine?
It’s the combination of oil and pressure that creates this windage so we must deal with them together. For even more engine building tips, tricks, and techniques CLICK HERE! Excessive oil consumption causes carbon to build up on the piston’s crown surface. This can affect compression ratio and combustion efficiency.
