My brother bought his MX5 about 9 month age and it is burning tons of oil and I have changed the pcv valve which some times I was told helps but the oil burning stayed and there are loads of posts about stuck oil control rings on this engine, has any one tried some thing I am reading about removing the plugs then tipping is some sort of liquid to soak the piston rings or does any one know what liquid to try.

Have a look here,BG Products they have an additive for just about anything and it is good stuff.

If you have never used thier products, if you ask a Rep will come to see you and will usually do a free engine clean treatment which involves engine oil flush, fuel system cleaner that is pumped thru the system by machine and an induction cleaner which is sprayed into the intake whilst running.

If you tell him what the problem is he will suggest which product would be best.

Hi, Make sure you understand exactly how the breather system works, where the pipes run and connect and then make sure they are all clear all the way through. A compression test probably wouldn't go amiss either.

I keep a can on the shelf for cars that fail emissions spectacularly and it's worked on half a dozen cars

one ive tried to ungum piston rings is flushing the engine with a mixture of diesel fuel+engine oil(about a litre and a half of each)youll need to leave it running for about an hour tho and the obvious wear/smoke risks are gonna be ones youll have to take on the chin.
