What to do if your Mazda 6 is burning oil?
Change your PCV valve and see if that helps. If it’s not leaking onto the ground then it kind of limits where the oil is going. Either bad head gasket which is allowing oil into the combustion chamber or piston rings are shot which are doing the same thing. Look for smoke on first start up in the mornings and do a compression test.
Why does my Mazda 6 have a low oil pressure light?
I would have to agree. The Mazda 6 I have has a low oil pressure light. One would think that a low amount of oil in the engine would also cause the light to come on. The light never came on so this tells me that the engine should have had adequate oil for lubrication. Mazda told me that there was no correlation between the two.
What causes coolant to get burnt off in Mazda 6?
Bad head gaskets would cause you to lose coolant also. Some cars like the Pontiac grand ams have issues with leaky intake manifolds dripping oil onto the block where it gets burnt off. A leak down test would be the correct course of action.
