Why is the oil consumption of my Nissan Patrol increasing?

I am the owner of a Nissan Patrol and lately, I have noticed that the oil consumption has been increasing. I am worried that this might be a sign of a bigger issue. Any suggestions on what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Hi Samantha, it is normal for the oil consumption to increase as the engine gets older. However, if there is a sudden increase in oil usage, it could be due to worn out piston rings or valve seals. I would suggest taking your Nissan Patrol to a mechanic for a thorough check-up.

Hey Samantha, have you noticed any blue smoke coming from your Nissan Patrol's exhaust? This could also be a sign of increased oil consumption. I would recommend checking the PCV valve and replacing it if necessary.

Hi Samantha, another reason for the increased oil consumption could be a clogged air filter. This restricts airflow and puts extra strain on the engine, leading to more oil usage. I would advise checking and replacing the air filter if needed.
