Explanations for
Fast Oil
Consumption in
Volvo Cars

2.
It is normal for a passenger
car to consume one quart
of oil between oil changes.

3.
If your Volvo is consuming
more oil than that, it
needs an engine repair.

Volvo Burning Oil Faster
Than Usual? Here’s Why

5.
Reason No.1- Damaged
piston rings

6.
Piston rings are of three
different types: compression,
wiper, and oil control rings.

7.
Among other things, they
prevent oil from entering
the combustion chamber.

8.
So, obviously… if they get damaged,
oil consumption will skyrocket.

9.
Reason No.2-
One of the
seals/gaskets is
faulty

10.
A car engine relies on several
gaskets and seals to function.

11.
Some of them are the
head gasket, valve cover
gasket, oil pan gasket, etc.

12.
If one of them is at fault, the oil will find
its way into the combustion chamber.

13.
As a result, you will notice a
sudden surge in oil consumption.

14.
Reason No.3- PCV
valve is defective

15.
The sole purpose of the
PCV valve is to minimize
crankcase emissions.

16.
To do so, it channels
blow-by gases present
inside the crankcase to
the intake manifold.

17.
If it goes bad, oil pressure
within the crankcase will
increase- so does the oil
consumption.

19.
If your car is burning more oil
than usual, you will encounter
the following signs;
Dramatic drop in motor oil
level
Flashing check engine
light
