    Hi All,

    We have noted that our engin oil consumption is too high, so we have decided to measure its blowby?
    My question is how can we troublshoot the BlowBy and is there any other root causes for this matter?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Mohamed and welcome

    You left a lot of information out of your initial post. You will find short posts get short to no answers so how about filling in the blanks

    1. What engine model, year, serial, cpl
    2. Hours, maintenance history, salt/fresh water
    3. How do you change and fill oil, how many qts do you use
    4. Out burn quantity per hours use
    5. Smoke at start up? Color?
    6. Smoke running? Color?
    7. Please post up some pictures of your engine(s) from all angles (left/right, front/back, top/bottom, high/low)

    Before you play with blow by testing letā€™s get the above information and go from there…

    Phil
