EDITOR’S NOTE: This article replaces the one posted in October 2016.
Some clients may complain that the Low Oil Pressure indicator comes on, requiring engine oil to be added, while others
who routinely check the oil level as recommended in their owner’s manual may find that oil consumption has exceeded
their expectations.
If you get a vehicle in your shop for an oil consumption concern, be sure to run an oil consumption test using the Engine
Oil Consumption Test job aid in SIS. If the oil consumption is excessive, and you’re not noticing anything mechanically
wrong, the piston rings may be clogged from carbon buildup.
To check for this, remove the pistons and see if the rings float freely on them. If they don’t, just replace the pistons and
rings. There’s no need to replace the short block.
