Engine oil plays a vital role in the health of your vehicle. It helps keep the working parts lubricated to reduce friction and helps filter out dust and dirt particles that can lead to engine damage. Sometimes, though, your car’s engine oil can’t perform these tasks, so your car may be burning oil.
As a resource to drivers around Danvers, Peabody, and Salem, MA, we at Ira Toyota of Danvers have created this quick reference guide. So, you may be asking, “Why is my car burning oil?” Keep reading and contact us with any questions.
A frequent indicator that your car is burning oil is that your engine oil light frequently appears on your dashboard. You may also notice a steady decline when getting under the hood to check your engine oil level with the dipstick.
This includes removing the dipstick from your cooled engine, wiping it with a clean cloth, then reinserting. Once you remove the dipstick again, check to see if your vehicle’s engine oil is too low.
A steady drop in oil level without any noticeable leaks may let you know your car is burning oil.
Burning oil is often the result of worn-out parts. For example, worn valve seals and/or piston rings could lead to your car burning oil. Both valve seals and piston rings work to keep engine oil out of the combustion chamber.
The combustion chamber is where fuel is combined with air and ignited by a spark to start your vehicle. With worn parts, engine oil can leak into this mixture, which leads to an internal burning of oil.
Burning Oil Outside of the Engine
It’s possible that your car may be burning oil outside of the engine. This is because your car’s engine oil is escaping and landing on a hot surface. A telltale sign of external oil burning is that you can smell burning oil.
Reasons engine oil may be escaping and causing this issue include:
If your car is burning oil, don’t hesitate to bring your car to a mechanic. Using their skills and expertise, they can quickly diagnose whether the oil is burning because of an internal or external leak, then take the necessary steps to resolve this issue.
At Ira Toyota of Danvers, we have a team of skilled technicians and state-of-the-art equipment to quickly diagnose and treat oil-burning trouble. Plus, we also offer flexible service hours. This way, you can schedule your appointment before or after work, on Saturday, or at any time throughout the day.

Fantastic service... They gave me a same day appointment and fixed my flat tire perfectly!!
Always a pleasure to get my service work done, though I wish it didn’t take so long. Almost 3 hours.
I was very pleased with my experience at IRA Toyota of Danvers. My expectations were met and exceeded.I generally don't look forward to buying cars but this time changed my thought process.I left the dealership feeling like they really wanted to help me and they did.
Staff friendly and competent. Explained problems and how they would fix them. A bit expense though!
Although it took a little while a little longer than I expected, the workmanship was great and the customer service was outstanding and I want to thank Toyota for doing what they had to do for me
Ira is always clean and fast check in. Price is for the most part affordable.
I went in to get an inspection with what I thought was Registration information indicating my sticker was good until 2016. It surprised Nate and me to discover I had no sticker on my license plate. Nate sent me to AAA and they were able to print my registration and provide a sticker. After that Nate was able to get the inspection taken care of. I’m glad I didn’t get pulled over by a cop. That would have been a big price to pay.
Had a very pleasant buying experience there. I came in with a price range in mind and the offer I received was well within making any further negotiation unnecessary. Easiest car purchase I have ever made.
I received excellent service from this dealership! They were very polite and professional! Will be coming back!

I am so happy with my today's service at IRA Toyota Danvers,not only today always
Great people and customer service. However, I always feel I'm paying more than I would if I shopped around.
Outstanding welcome the minute I came into the service department without an appointment. I had waited 2 1/2 hrs before a AAA road service came to start my car and I went to the Toyota Service. I moved here from Las Vegas and had always had all my work under Toyota dealer there. I loved the fact that they made magic happen for me considering my ordeal before I arrived. They were able to pull up my records from Las Vegas.
Today’s experience was fast and efficient I was happy with everything My service advisor was amazing
Experience was great. I walked away after making the deal feeling like I was treated right.
The salesman Jason did a fantastic job. Even coming in on his day off to get me into the new car. Great facility with great amenities I would shop here again in a heartbeat.

I had a great experience working with Jack Motzi. He was genuine, helpful, and went out of his way to help deliver the car and make everything happen quickly. Very nice guy, too! Highly recommend!
Good experience overall. We've now purchased 2 used cars from Ira Toyota and have been happy with them. I think they are a bit overpriced in general, so it all depends on whether they are willing to work with you on price. During the final financial part, I had to chuckle when they offered multiple "upgrades" that more than doubled the original price of the car!
No hassles, got exactly what I wanted for the advertised price. Usual upselling of extended warranty and anti theft tracker, but they will let you say no.
Pretty good service -should clean inside of car during service . Generally knowledgeable service client advisors -
gentleman was excellent took good care of my car and all my services were done thanks
Very satisfied with service advisor Angel. Very friendly, helpful and professional. Very happy with my car repairs.

Friendly service…very professional. Fair rates for a dealership service. Kept me aware about problems/potential problems with my car.
Great experience. Quickly welcomed me, gave me clear information and made the process easy to understand.
I've never purchased a new vehicle and of course I was very apprehensive. My concern was that I could only afford a used pick up truck. After speaking with a sales rep and a manager i began to explore a new 2024. They helped me figure out what I could afford and it fit my budget. No pressure for me and they took care or all the paperwork, registration, sticker. From sales to service I was very comfortable at IRA Toyota Danvers. Thanks to to Vadim and Mark.
Best service ever. Always kept in the loop. Usually don't take my cars to a dealership but this one only goes to the dealership and I couldn't be more satisfied.

Class act from Day one! Jennifer P. Sales Manager took care of us to start the process. After seeing a prospective used Camry online and speaking to Jennifer, who confirmed it was on the lot, we drove an hour from NH. Unfortunately, the car had sold in that timeframe. Jenn saw that we were disappointed and checked incoming inventory for the exact vehicle color, options, etc and one was being delivered in October if we could wait. She set us up with our salesman, Dio, who brought a car around for a test drive. Needless to say, we were sold ...
We have used IRA Toyota for all of our maintenance service on our Prius V
