First of all it is necessary to check that the consumption is anomaly,
considering the kind of engine, its age and the driving conditions to
which the engine is exposed. Faults could be caused by a leak in junctions or seals, wear to pistons or cylinders or deposits limiting the lubrication of some surfaces


3. Does the color of the oil mean anything?   up
The color of an oil has no special meaning, but depends of many factors such as base oils, additives, crude oil and the refining process. Oil may turn a darker color after use because it contains a number of suspension particles - the reason for this is that oil cleans the engine of particles and other deposits produced by the high temperature combustion, keeping the particles in suspension to avoid depositing them on the engine's surface.
