A common cause of an engine consuming too much oil is worn or damaged piston rings. These rings are responsible for sealing the combustion chamber and preventing oil from leaking into it. Over time, they can wear out or become damaged, allowing oil to seep into the combustion chamber where it gets burned along with the fuel. This can lead to increased oil consumption, visible smoke from the exhaust, and potentially reduced engine performance. Another related issue can be worn cylinder walls, which exacerbate the problem. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can help mitigate excessive oil consumption and keep the engine running efficiently.
