94 celica burning oil? Options

[Crazy0reo]

hi, have a 94 st, its my DD. Recently I have noticed between oil changes the car burns oil. There is no black smoke coming from the engine or the tail pipe. When it comes time to change oil, there is barely a quart in the car. Anyone have any idea whats the cause of this? Car runs good no problems, also no leaks. Odometer reads 190XXX. Any ideas?

Your motor is junk. St's are known for eating oil when higher milage. My buddy works at a yota dealership, they Dont even recommend re-ringing it, just total motor job. You could try if you or you know someone with awesome mechanical skills, but that's a lot of work for a short life unfortunately.

I dought valve seals would leak this fast but also possible. St's are almost always rings...

They make a specialty chemical you can add to your oil to de-gloss your cylinders. Takes a while to work (500 miles?) And then it can slow it, but not stop it (experience, also never heard anyone say it completely fixed their problem.) But you must be having some type of smoke problem. Might be hard ro see it in winter, but that's quite a bit to loose.

Pull off your air intake from your throttle body. See if there is any oil in there as well.

All Bad. throttle body looks ok , just carbon. not oil. like i said i don't smell/see smoke. Coolants dirty but highly doubt that's the cause. If its the seals are bad what would be a good indicator of this? Live in California and my smog is good for another year. Within that year planing on getting a GT and swapping all the goodies out, then selling. But this is my work car so trying to fix the problem before it gets worse. Are higher mileage GT's the same as well?
