Burning Oil

thewayshemoves · December 26th, 2006, 05:22 PM

So, I know what burning oil usually means...is burning oil black when it comes out of the exhaust? or blue? my friend argues that if its black its not oil, but I know when my RX7 burned oil it was solid black, and smelled like oil...so the question is, burning oil black or blue?

burning oil will be blue. black is usually carbon buildup

I think both,, blue smoke=burning oil and heavy black soot in exhaust pipe = probably burnt oil or faulty emission equipment/or lack thereof.

ok see I thought black could mean burning oil...I knew blue meant burning oil, but I had a feeling that black can't be that great either...its not in my car, I was just curious cause my friends does that

Blue=oil
Black=rich(too much feul)
White=antifreeze

A small puff of grey when you hit it hard= clean valves.
