I run half of a can of Marvel Mystery Oil in the oil for a month when I buy a used car. It cleans the rings and gets them unstuck. I then add a 1/4 can to the next two regular oil changes. I had a 2.3L Ford that was puffing blue smoke on cold starts. By week 2, no more smoke. Car never ate oil over its next 100,000 miles.

I wish I could have Scotty do maintenance on my car I don't trust mechanics at shops
Do it yourself, I would never send my car in. Just do a quick youtube searches on what you need to replace in your car and there will be step by step videos if you're not familiar with mechanic work.
Diagnosing is the hardest part.

You need to move to the UK Scotty...Because of you. I never go to a garage. I DIY 90% of my repairs now. Really appreciate your videos. I've saved them all
Well, unfortunately, my mechanic says it is worn out pistons and valve seals and that the engine is leaking all over, but I really enjoyed how thorough and to the point your video was. Since the engine is slowly bleeding to death , the only thing I can do is keep adding fresh oil, and I will get some Lucas to hopefully slow down the hemorrhaging! Thanks for the video!

blue is generally burning piston rings, if the smoke is more white, valve seals. You can do a wet and dry compression test of the engine to see which is bad

For me it was the valve cover gasket. I thought my car was burning oil--about 1 qt every 2000 miles but after replacing my leaking valve cover gasket, I wasn't losing any more oil! It's common for this gasket to go bad and start leaking before 100k. I never saw oil on the garage floor under the car. It was dripping down on the exhaust manifold and burning off so I didn't realize how much I was losing.
Still the most reliable car/mechanic source on RUclips in 2023 😌👌
live with it, worn piston rings and or valve seals do that, costs thousands to replace them.
I have a 2010 Dodge Journey I got a tune up and now it’s smoking white smoke out the exhaust and there’s no oil is it burning it ?
just keep adding oil, and junk it when the engine finally craps out. It may last a while longer.
really, any good quality oil will work if you change it as often as he did. I personally like castrol normal oil myself.
Depending on the amount it leaks, it could be a grey smoke as well. This is usually indicative of the valve seals leaking or a head gasket leak, and you should diagnose it first before throwing parts at it. Valve seals are a lot easier to replace than the head gasket.
Keep in mind, this only refers to internal leaks. External leaks will just leave a mess on your garage floor.
My 2000 Ford E-150 has an internal leak. When I cold start it there a decent sized cloud of blue. I believe it's the valve seals.

just a little heads up about the pcv valve. The pcv valve has a spring inside. over time this spring becomes hardened because of the heat. even if your pcv click when you shake it , it does not mean it's still good. The spring might already be brittle and not letting the pcv valve open fully.
carlosb1 agreed I have changed mine twice cause it was starting to pass oil into the air filter
carlosb1
What if the pcv valve clicks when shaling and you feel the vaccum sucking air in? Can it still be bad?
Where is the valve on an 04 vw Jetta???

A convertible stingray. That's a rare one. I swear by Lucas oil stabilizer. KEEP THAT ENGINE ALIVE. I'll check the pcv valve on my 5.4 liter. I've always used good oil and either wix or motorcraft oil filter's. I burn oil at 230k but it runs like a champ.
yes, pray that fixes it. Cause if not, it's internal engine wear, typical on muranos and I'd live with that.

I have no experience with that oil, so I can't say. I just use regular old castrol oil in my toyotas and it works fine with 235 thousand miles on them
Damaged PCV valve sucking in oil is a new piece of info. for me. Thanks Scotty.
What if your car is leaking oil what can I use to stop the leak.! Thank you.! Great channel
you replace the whole assembly, or drill out the old one and make a space to put one in, there are tons of them in auto parts stores and one could be made to fit easily
No, sometimes syn oil actually creates oil leaks, I've seen that many times when guys try switching to syn oil.
Your booklet should tell you what kind of oil you need to use
I just switched to synthetic oil myself and i will say i experienced more oil leaks. I wonder if this is my problem
it's stripped. So try grabbing it with vice grip pliers and pull real hard down. If you get a small gap, put a screwdriver in there to push while you turn. Pray you don'[t have to drill it out.
I swear I'm becoming a pro mechanic off this mans show!! Haha cudos to you dude!!!
Thanks for the support 👍
Scotty Kilmer is a gift. We appreciate him.
I see the oil covering the underneath of my car as an extra layer of protection, never need an oil change just keep pooring it in. :)
Darph Bobo Dude, u gonna blow her engine eh mate?
She's going in for a service this Tuesday and a new sump gasket will be amongst one of the many belts, rubber mounts, sensors and expanse of other items I am yet to realize need changing.
Darph Bobo too baf u still gotta change the oil filter
Yes, you still have to change the oil filter, and replace ALL the oil occasionally.
Never saw rusted out bottoms on an oil leaker.
often a blowing head gasket does that. Try my video "how to tell if your head gasket is blown" to find out. if it is, may be time to get another car as that can get VERY expensive on a VW
Scotty, you seem like a good dude. You put together great videos, very informative and I enjoy watching and hearing what you have to say. Thanks!
a bad back up light switch often does that IF the bulbs are not just burned out
Hi Scotty thanks for all the knowledge you share with everyone of us , all your efforts are appreciated, I have been following you for a long time now and learning a lot from your videos.
Thank you sir for making your videos short and to the point, btw I have a 07 tahoe that burns oil but many ppl have said on the forums this is a common problem with them, I have to put 1 qt of oil 2 months after that an oil change, the tahoe runs good, it has 177k miles on it now
I would love a neighbour like that!
I dont know dude is pretty loud .Video after video of him screaming in his front yard and doing burn outs might get a bit old .That and all the tweaker cars keep piling up .DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE THIS GUYS CHANNEL .It just might ware on you after awhile ??
no, that's a fine product. I would assume the engine just didn't have it's oil changed regularly enough, and now it burns some oil. I would change the pcv valve and then just live with what it burns and add it
Religious maintenance greatly extends the life of the engine. My uncle's 2002 Nissan van has a 2.7L diesel engine, and with regular oil change using premium oil and genuine parts, it now has over 290,000 kilometers or 180,000 miles, and still burns no more than half a quart of oil between oil changes.
Our religious car maintenance is a lot of prayer, but most of the time we don't have a prayer.
cars can do better :) my Honda has 310k miles everything works just found her leaking a tad bit of engine oil. think just needs a rebuild to be honest. drinks a quart in about a week :/
@@mysnellvilleblog hi darla did you guys get your new car yet I hope so
@@mysnellvilleblog hi darla did you guys get your new car yet i hope so
hassle is getting enough room to get the oil pan off. Many vehicles require removing the engine mounts and lifting the engine up to get enough clearance. Get a cheap manual like haynes to see how your model is done.
Dude, you have the best videos! Keep 'em going! Thank you!
on top of the end of the plastic intake manifold under a bunch of plastic hoses and connectors you have to remove to see it
Also if you're losing oil with no signs of a leak, it could be leaking internally, into the cooling system for example with a cracked head or blown gasket. So check your coolant for rainbows.
Also make sure you don't have a loose unicorn in there!
uv leak detector does not cause leaks, it's just a dye to show where leaks are. If the pan is leaking, pay a mechanic as engine often has to be lifted up to do that
it's a Sunday of Scotty Killmer channel :) Nice Corvette.
I have one of these and it smokes during deceleration
@@austinparker7885 valve steam seals will cause that
2003 Jeep Liberty using a quart of oil every 1,000 miles...watched Scotty's video, replaced the $7 PCV valve. Just went 1,600 miles with no oil consumption. Why didn't I think of that years ago? Thanks Scotty

Hi, Mr. scotty my gmc loses oil and I saw oil in intake air hose, i checked the pcv valve and cleaned and checked the oil level, and i still got the problem
oil in intake is often just worn out piston rings throwing blow bye into the intake. Do a wet and dry compression test of all engine cylinders, and if worn, live with it or rebuild the engine

You da man Scotty. Just wanna add that if you drive aggressively (rev up your engines!) the chance of burning oil is greater.
Have you ever heard of the issue with 1998-2002 Corolla's burning oil? I've accepted the fact that the Piston rings just tend to do that even at low mileage, but would changing the PCV Valve and switching to thicker oil at least help at all to combat this issue?
Many Corollas and many other cars of that era burn oil as they age. Best to keep a low cost bulk supply of oil around.
George Vapes That's exactly why I'm here. I've got Corolla from 2000 GLS 1'4 petrol.
even the cars manual.(so.when it was brand new) says that it's normal for car to take oil and you might have to add a up to a litre for every 1 thousand miles
Check the engine gaskets, and the valve seals it might help.
Research more about this generation Corolla/Prizm engine and you'll find it is a design flaw that the oil return holes on the pistons aren't adequate and often get plugged up over time. Not an easy fix to pull the pistons out and clear the holes (some folks drill new ones too). Try changing the PCV valve and you might get lucky.
IIf the engine gets good mileage then it isn't worn out. Just drive it until the oil consumption gets ridiculous. Then consider an engine oil cleaning additive called AutoRX available online.
999thenewman.........If you ( or anyone else for that matter ) believes "buying & using any oil, just because it is cheaper" is "as good as any oil"..........then you damn well deserve the DECREASED ENGINE LIFE/FAILURE you will be getting soon enough. Using "any ole cheap oil" is not only the WORST thing you can do to your engine, it is THE DUMBEST thing you can do as well. Some old used piece of shit "beater" car ya may have just bought is a different story. Ya don't even know what kinds of oil has been run through that engine over its life. But new or 1 owner vehicles that are still in great shape, and have A MAINTENANCE HISTORY ( showing the BRAND & TYPE of oil used ) YOU SHOULD KEEP USING THE SAME GOOD BRAND & TYPE OF OIL IN THAT ENGINE. You people must only buy junky old cars.........or ya don't even know what it's like to buy a good car/truck that LASTS for hundreds of thousands of miles. Bought my 2000 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 new in 2000, and it still runs & drives as goods as the day I bought it because I'VE KEPT THE SAME OIL IN IT THAT IT CAME WITH: CASTROL 10w30. It presently has 330,000 miles on it........and I'm confident it's going to double that before this engine needs rebuilt. YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE THOSE RESULTS BY USING CHEAP-SHIT OIL.
This video has been really helpful, as a i have an older Honda CR-V that is using oil. I am going to check the PCV valve tomorrow when i have the time.

Is there any benefit to having one on?
many cars do have them anymore, but they don't sell clios here so I can't say on that model.
Depending on the car, you can also run Diesel Oil, such as Rotella 15w40. I've been using this for years, it usually stops most leaks, or slows them to a crawl. However, in the winter time, you should consider switching back to a Thinner oil...since you should run a thinner oil in cold climates anyways.
True, Rotella works great in high millage cars! I run 15w40 on my truck year round. If the weather gets very cold I run the Rotella 5w40. My truck doesn't burn a single drop of oil with Rotella.
Never run diesel oil in a gas car bad can damage car
Some diesel oil are for fleet use, usually okay on gas engines.
HERPY DERPEDY Oh so 5W is for gasoline vehicles, and 10W are for diesel vehicles
Anthony Shell tech dept specifically states Rotella not recommended for gas engines as it includes high concentrations of a certain detergent that will ruin cat converters.
Thanks for the video. My 1999 Corolla burns oil for the last 2 years. (Not my fault. That the way I bought it). Changed PCV - didn't stop burning. Today I am adding Lucas Heavy Duty oil stabalizer. Will see how it will work out.
Scotty should sing don't stop believing by journey , he looks and sounds like steve perry haha
I have a 2006 GMC Envoy Denali, I have some lite white smoke coming from the tail pipe, I had my mechanic put in 4 quart of oil,& some oil stabilizer in, I watched your video, I'm gonna ask my mechanic to check the PCV valve.
Replace the seals
man just like to say your my favorite RUclips mechanic I watch your channel for any car problems for guidance thank you your videos are so helpful and very reliable again Scotty #1
Looks like that corvette could use some oil stabilizer the way the exhaust smokes
5 is fine for normal stop and go driving, 7 if you do a lot of highway driving
I'm guessing he put a Toyota engine in that Corvette? 🤣
yeah its a turbo 5.7 from a tundra
I have a 2006 Honda Element AWD with a 2.4L inline, 4 cylinder. The engine is using approximately half a quart of 5w20 oil every 600 miles. There isn't any leaks, oil just seems to disappear. Engine has 145,000 miles on it and I purchased it used with 142,000 miles with all maintenance records and it has had excellent care with all the on time oil changes done at Honda. I had the pcv replaced which did not make the oil usage any less. If it's rings/valves how quickly does the oil usage increase, because I can't afford another vehicle. Thanks for any advice
My 02 Camry oil level gets down to about half-full every 3k miles, so while it's burning oil, its not burning that much. It has 242k miles, however, I've always gotten oil changes every 3k miles (4K at the most). Could this be a PCV valve or is it just engine age? I hear of people all the time getting astronomical mileage on vehicles (500k and sometimes evenover 1 million miles) by religiously maintaining their vehicle, so 242k miles doesn't seem like that much to me.
A half a quart between changes is normal with a high mileage engine, but using motorcraft oil will cut your oil consumption in half. Stick with the recommended oil weight.
GeneralSirDouglasMcA those 02-04 Camry's burned a lil oil with the 2.4L. It was a bit notorious. If recommended trying the Lucas oil stabilizer.
WOW! Changed PCV and what do you know? The oil burning stopped! THANK YOU!!!!
I lost 4 quarts of oil in 20 miles
Edit: send help
You got a leak.
replace the vehicle asap
An OG, and the only guy I take car advice from.
Anyone else cringe hearing PCV. After hearing PVC for so long
positive ventilation crankcase doesn't even make sense. PoliVynilChloride is a plastic
The pcv valve has become pricey on the 4.8 GM motor due to the bright engineers molding it into the valve cover which you have to replace to change the pcv valve. Just had this $219.00 job done (included labor) and now waiting to see if it fixed the problem.
Next will be adding the seal repair from your video (AT-205) because while the pcv valve did not work I believe it built pressure up in crankcase causing the rear main to leak.
A double thumbs up for your video's Scotty! This is my go to place to see if I can fix in house before I make the mechanic call.
If there's any "cure in a can" for excessive oil consumption, it sure as heck ain't overpriced lard oil Lucas. Marvel Mystery Oil in many instances can stop the valve seat wear that causes excess burning. If you check out the Saturnalia forums, about the only thing that can be done for those notorious oil burning 1.9 Saturn motors from the 90s is to run Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase to free up those coked up valve seals and carboned piston rings. I went from burning one quart per 1,000 miles to a half a quart every 3,000 miles. I also had a slight oil leak at the rear main seal, which went away after about two oil changes using MMO. Marvel Mystery Oil is 1/3 the price of Lucas, so experiment with that before you drop money on Lucas. Besides, if the owner of the vehicle didn't care enough to do frequent oil changes in the past to prevent wear like that, why would he drop an extra 12 bucks per oil change on Lucas Oil Stabilizer?
Marvin Harrison Smith II Because it works.
MMO swells the seals that's why they quit leaking.
That sounds like what I need. Mechanic says ALL the seals are leaking and it would cost the same as replace engine to go in and replace all the seals. So I need something to help it leak less into the combustion. My whole neighborhood disappears into smoke whenever I start my car!
Metqa well is it white smoke or blue smoke?
It's oily smoke. as in you can smell and taste and almost feel the oil as it billows out the tail pipe, and it doesn't go away until the engine is really hot,like drive around town for 5 minutes looking like a rocket ship lifting off horizontally. But it's not dripping anywhere outside. It's not the kinda wispy white vapor you see in the morning when it's cold before the car heats up. Thick Billowy opaque, out the tailpipe, and more recently from neath the hood, enveloping... you get the idea. ( I hope. :D )
For a leak that won't stop just doe like me years ago. Get a high mileage engine and put synthetic in it. I use high mileage oil with good results. Some of us learn by screwing up but, I learned.
Change your oil every 5000 miles with a OEM filter. Problem solved for 250,000 miles.
Robert Davis what about O'Reillys filters?
Robert Davis OEM filters?? DF r those
Robert Davis wix xp filters are just as good. You can do a easy search on oil filter specs to see the quality of filter brands.
zhbvenkhoReload the O'Reilly brand filters are made by Wix at the moment.
DJ Lucario original equipment manufacturer.... in other words, factory, dealer supplied products, not afternarket
valve is on the back of the valve cover. but often with improper oil changes, those engines just burn oil from internal wear.
Fast simple . I like this guy. Been watching awhile now. Better than most of the videos out there
hard to say, it can be worn valves, it can be weak oil pump, or just worn out engine that needs new bearings, as bearing wear lowers oil pressure, and then when they heat up the pressure goes up as they expand. Things are never simple on VWs these days, especially that over engineered VR6 engine
I've actually found from working with vehicles, that some oil just goes away while more expensive ones don't. They don't smoke like they're burning oil, they don't leak, but if you change it with a higher quality oil, they go entire oil changes without needing any.
Scotty is the bomb. Ignore his advice at your peril.
Scotty Kilmer,you are amazing!!! I have just realised that the simplest things can make the worst damage...Thank you!!!!!
oil just gets in there from minor blowby and pcv system operation, that's normaly
I used to have a car with the valve stem oil seals worn and used to top up 5 litres of oil every 2,000 miles for a total of 100,000 miles and changed the oil filter every 6,000 miles.
I eventually sold it with still great oil pressure and perfect engine.
That engine did 100,000 miles like that because it was getting fresh oil all the time.
i saw the other owner some years later and he said it did another 50,000 miles and was still perfect.
So it's not always bad news with your engine using oil.
well, that's one person's opinion, but it's garbage from my experience. It's much more than an oil thickener. but ifyou have 225 thousand miles on an engine and it makes it last a bit longer, sure beats putting a new engine in or junking the car
05 v6 Tacoma was missing on cold starts in cylinder #3 changed all the plugs and coils problem went away for awhile then came back I noticed I started burning oil (no leaks) changed the pcv valve all my troubles went away. It's amazing what a $6.85 part can do.
not common, but poorly maintained ones will blow head gaskets. VERY expensive job to do correctly.
it could be "just" the valve seals burning oil, but that's a giant to to replace em all, Oil is cheap, keep adding it, that probe will only last so long anyway being that old
if oil is only on the firing end, that's bad, worn valve seals or piston rings cause that
Another helpful video. I hope its just the PCV valve being clogged. Time to change the oil and air filter. I will pray its not serious engine problems.
+222Lightning YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. How come I can't find the PCV valve on my 1986 Honda Prelude. Its as though there isn't one to replace and the new PCV valve I bought doesn't go there.
I'd leave it. IF you are doing long trips, that mileage counts as little. If you only did highway driving, for example, you could change the oil every 10 thousand miles and have no problems. It's stop and go driving that dirties the oil up
