Oil burning issue in santro

[hashimali1]

My car is burning oil, almost 1.5 liter in three weeks. I got her checked for leaks but none were found. The engine is absolutely original and i don't want to get it touched.

I changed my 2004 model santro engine oil three weeks before and I am using shell helix. (Car Mileage 130k)

Please suggest what can be done to stop the engine from burning oil?

If no leaks then any smoke from exhaust pipe or overhaeating issue now??

[hashimali1]

I haven't seen any smoke neither faced any overheating issue.

u can try pouring in a can of stp oil treatment with every oil change.
but eventually a weak engine needs rebuild

My car engine is running fine.
STP is a very thick substance and its not wise to use it in winter. Could I switch to synthetic oil because it keeps its lubricating properties longer than natural oil.

[hash4u]

synthetic is a big no for a weak engine

for now stick to 20w 50 oil. thicker it will be, lesser it will burn oil.
and yeah stp is like a honey like substance. it thickens the oil to slow down the oil burn process

Today I bought 20w50 Gulf oil. It was suggested by Bismillah Oil Agency. lets see its result. Also bought stp but they highly discourage me to used in winter. Therefore I just postponed my plan to used stp.

Did your car heat up? or was the oil light indicated you the problem?

70,000 Rs that's too much now that you are planning to take it to machenic again i would recommend to take it to Hyundai Dealership lets see what they have to say to you .....

if your engine is not giving smoke, and also don't get overheated, then there is some leak and your engine is in good shape. try to find out the leak. also do check your PVC valve. bow by valve.

and always make sure during overhauling that you are changing valve seals also.

i had this problem before some 6-7 month ago, and i was also ripped by mechanic, he actually changed the rings and gasket while valve seals were not changed, also valve facing was not done, thats why i was facing the smoke problem immediately after overhaul. i went to the same mechanic and he told me that run it on petrol, silencer pipe has some oils and when it will burn completely then the smoke problem will be solved, but i drove the car almost 20 days. but the smoke was permanent. then i went to the same mechanic and he changed the valve seals and valve facing was also done. Now Alhamdulillah my car is running perfectly without any oil decrease almost done 14000 Kms after that work. but these mechanics just work for money not for good reputation. so kindly confirm that he also change the valve seals and done valve facing or not?

i am currently using ZIC A, will use petromin 7 in summer and Havoline formula in winter from now.

k , thanx for sharing ur experience , now this time i change the rings,valve seals, gas kit ,is these changes make my car smooth? , and is engine sound depends on engine oil ? kindly guide me

[Horse_rider]

i personally think that engine oil has concerns with engine sound.
