Hey car people...how long can a vehicle survive with an oil burning issue?

On my way home from work yesterday, I was driving behind an old and tired early 2000's Chevy Malibu that was belching [b]blue[/b] smoke, which is a sign that it had an oil burning problem.

It's not about how long it can survive. You must have it fixed ASAP. It can cost you a lot more later as it will surely cause major damage to the engine.

@LookingForTheSummer I can imagine, because the oil can't really be lubricating the engine in that situation.

@latinbutterfly Exactly. And engines are costly to repair.
You better change the oil every six months.
