"Why my car burning so much oil?" π€
We hear this one all the time β and today we're showing you one of the most overlooked culprits.
This 2018 Nissan Qashqai came in with high oil consumption, so we pulled the PCV valve to investigate. This small part plays a HUGE role in keeping your engine healthy, and when it goes bad, your wallet feels it. π°
Signs your PCV might be the issue:
- Burning oil smell π
- Frequent oil top-ups
- Whistling sound from the engine bay
- Oil in places it shouldn't be
- Poor fuel economy β½
DIY guessing can cost you more in the long run. A proper diagnosis saves time, money, and stress β and that's exactly what we do at DJ Mobile Automotive Services. We have the tools and experience to get it right the first time. ππ¨
Question for you: How often are YOU topping up your vehicle's oil between services? Drop it in the comments β you might be surprised what's normal vs. what's a red flag. π
