Engine emits blue smoke; oil consumption is noticeably high.

Safety: Prolonged oil burning can foul the DPF and turbocharger.

• Check oil level: Ensure oil is at the correct mark on the dipstick. Drain excess oil if overfilled.
• Inspect crankcase breather: A blocked breather can increase crankcase pressure and oil carryover. Clean or replace the breather element.
• Check turbo for oil: Remove intake hose and inspect for excessive oil in the compressor housing. A failed turbo seal requires turbo replacement.
• Engine wear assessment: If blue smoke persists, an engine wear evaluation (compression test, leak-down test) is needed. Major internal repairs may be required.
