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?

Hello all: I recently bought a clean ST. 1996 and is in the process of getting it fixed to my liking. Thus far I have done the following to the engine:
Timing Belt/seals (on that side) and water pump replaced Axle replaced (boot leaked) Valve cover gas kit replaced, plugs seals replaced Plugs changed air/oil filter changed This weekend I will changed the oil and fuel filter (part of tuneup) Issue: The car is using oil. I drove it a roundtrip of 340 miles and it used about oil. the oil was one-forth low on the dip stick. Can somebody educate me what steps I need to take to find the actual cause of excessive oil consumption whether it is valve seals or piston rings: thank you. |
