Blue smoke from exhaust and noticeable engine oil consumption on SDMO standby generator.

Safety first: Monitor oil level closely and avoid running the engine if oil level approaches minimum.

• Check oil level: Ensure oil is not overfilled, as this can cause oil to be drawn into the intake. Drain excess oil if above maximum mark.
• Inspect breather system: Check the crankcase breather for blockage. Clean or replace as necessary.
• Monitor consumption: Record oil usage over several run hours. High consumption indicates internal wear.
• Plan major service: Internal engine repairs (rings, seals, turbo) should be performed by a qualified engine technician.
