Perkins Oil Burning / Internal Engine Wear

Blue smoke from exhaust and rising engine oil consumption

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn piston rings, Valve stem seal wear, Turbocharger oil seal leak, Overfilled crankcase oil level

Safety: Monitor oil level closely to avoid running dry.

Check oil level: Ensure oil is not above the maximum mark; drain excess if overfilled.
Turbo inspection: Check turbo intake and intercooler for oil accumulation indicating turbo seal failure.
Service interval: Confirm oil and filter changes are done at Perkins‑recommended intervals.
Engine overhaul: Persistent blue smoke with high consumption usually indicates internal wear and may require engine overhaul by a Perkins specialist.
