Just recently I took to looking when I start the truck up and I have noticed a puff of smoke every so often out of the tail pipe.I asked this oil burning question about this truck with this engine because I have had older vehicles in the past and recognize the symptoms of bad valve seals or slack rings but wasn't figuring this engine would have either of those issues as it only has about 70000 kms on it.
I know every engine is different some smoke from day one some never burn a drop of oil but I didn't know if there could be other causes to the oil use I'm seeing like a bad PVC valve or some other issues.I have to take the truck back to the dealer in a week or so to have a couple of bad hinges replaced and a faulty power folding mirror fixed so I will get the mechanics to check for some of these things to see if anything shows up.
