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?

Yeah do the piston ring soak. Pull all four sparkplugs. Pour about an ounce of Seafoam or Marvel Mystery Oil down each sparkplug tube. Let the car sit for an hour and then turn the engine over(Might want to toss a rag over the sparkplugs, the cleaner may spray out). Now let is sit for maybe 6 hours. Next, repeat with another ounce per cylinder until the bottle of cleaner is gone.
You may have to clean the oil afterwards or wait a couple hundred miles , all that MMO or Seafoam will be in the oil now. I changed the engine on my 94GT for <$300. A rebuilt engine from the salvage yard only cost me $200, I just got lucky and found one that wasnt even broken in |
