I have dodge neon 2000


my car burns oil


How can I stop it?How to stop oil burn?
either bad valve seals or worn piston rings, have a mechanic do a compression check on it and hope for just bad valve seals.How to stop oil burn?
Most likely, the cause is worn piston rings. They will need to be replaced which is expensive (though I'm not sure exactly how expensive on a Neon, honestly)





How many miles? Have you changed the oil when necessary? Used the proper viscosity? Ever overheated the engine?
get a new motor
Oil burning occurs when either oil gets past the piston rings or valve guides. Either one indicates the need for a rebuild. This usually happens in higher mileage cars. If the buring oil is coming from under the hood, then you probably have a leaky valve/cam cover gasket.
try a thicker oil it might help some or they have some engine restore stuff at the auto part store that is supposed to work but it is all just a temp fix
