I've noticed that my Vauxhall Mokka is using a lot of oil lately. It was fine before, but now it seems like I have to top off the oil every few weeks. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
ReplyHi Adam, high oil consumption can be caused by a variety of factors, but it's always important to investigate and address the issue. Some common causes include worn piston rings, faulty valve seals, and leaking gaskets. I would recommend taking your Mokka to a trusted mechanic for an inspection and potentially replace any worn or faulty components to prevent further issues.
Hey Adam, it's not uncommon for older vehicles to consume some oil over time. However, if you've noticed a sudden increase in consumption, it may be a sign of a larger problem. I would suggest getting an oil change and monitoring your levels closely. If they continue to decrease rapidly, it's best to take your Mokka to a mechanic for further diagnosis.
Hi Adam, excessive oil consumption can also be caused by a clogged PCV system. This can often be resolved by cleaning or replacing the PCV valve. I would recommend checking this component and cleaning or replacing it if needed. Keep an eye on your oil levels afterwards to see if the issue improves.
