* Oil Consumption: When the engine oil level is too high, it can lead to excessive oil consumption. This happens because:
* Overfilling: The extra oil can be pushed past the piston rings into the combustion chamber.
* Oil pump issues: A faulty oil pump might push more oil into the system than necessary.
* Valve stem seals: Worn-out valve stem seals allow oil to seep into the combustion chamber.
* Combustion: The excess oil that enters the combustion chamber burns along with the fuel, creating blue smoke.
Important Note: While blue smoke is a common indicator of high oil levels, it can also be caused by other problems like worn piston rings or valve stem seals. It's important to have a mechanic diagnose the issue properly.
