Scheppach Oil Burning / Worn Engine Components

Blue smoke from exhaust and rising 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, Overfilled crankcase, Blocked crankcase breather

Safety first: Operate in a ventilated area and avoid prolonged exposure to exhaust.

Check oil level: Ensure oil is not overfilled. Drain excess oil to the correct level.
Inspect breather: Locate the crankcase breather and ensure it is not blocked. Clean or replace as needed.
Monitor consumption: Track oil usage over several run hours. If consumption is high and blue smoke persists, internal wear is likely.
Plan overhaul: Worn rings or valve seals require engine disassembly and replacement of components.
