Siemens Oil Burning / Excessive Oil Consumption

Generator emits blue smoke from exhaust, especially under load.

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 leakage, Overfilled crankcase oil, Turbocharger oil seal leak (if equipped)

Safety first: Monitor oil level frequently; running low on oil can destroy the engine.

Check oil level: Ensure oil is not overfilled. Drain excess oil if above the MAX mark.
Observe trend: If blue smoke is light and oil consumption is minimal, schedule an inspection at the next service.
Persistent heavy smoke: Continuous blue smoke with rapid oil loss indicates internal engine wear or turbo seal failure. Shut down and arrange for professional engine service.
