Out o! What has happened/does this mean. The car has no problems and runs fine and strong. Also no cel sp I dont know what this means can some 1 give my some advice/ input.

Blue usually means oil.

Remove your oil cap and start your car, check to see if there is any smoke coming out of the valve cover. If it is, you are getting blow by(bad piston rings).

Do a compression test on all cylinders and check your spark plugs. If one does not look like the others, that may be the bad cylinder.

For Gods sake, check your oil quantity and keep it full.

Let us know what you find out.

nope all plugs are clean and dry also no blow by. Maybe a bad valve seal according to satan, they also said not to worry about it it probly wont get any worse. Compression was real good according to them.

yea thats not normal i would keep an eye on my oil levels.

ok, before you spend over $1000 to get the piston rings replaced at the mechanic, if thats even the case, invest $4.00, thats right $4.00 into a bottle of STP smoke treatment. this stuff is as thick as honey, no joke and its suppose to help seal up the piston rings and the valve seals. i was having the same problem with the smoke. it would come out every now and then but regardless, i was losing a quart of oil per week. well its been 3 days so far since i did my oil change and added a bottle of that STP smoke treatment with 4 quarts of castrol gtx instead of the mobil crap i was using, (was just too lazy to go get castrol so i just bought the oil at my closest mobil station since i swear by their gas.)and so far so good, oil level did not drop so far and haven't seen smoke as of yet. also, what amazes me the most is that my oil is almost as clear as it was before it went into the engine. i m sure it was the remnents of the old oil that made it slightly darker and no, i did not drive it like a granny to test it either. as a matter of fact, the same night i did the oil change, i got myself into a race with a solara going slightly over 100 and you can bet your ass off that my engine received its fair share of RPM's. by the way, i thought that solara would spank me for sure but nope, not as fast as i thought. anyways, give that STP stuff a try, you have nothing to lose but $4.00.
