My 95 Eclipse RS burns oil

Burning oil or losing oil ?? If your losing oil check your gaskets and any part of the oil circuit. If it is burning oil how old is your car, buring oil is a sign of worn oil rings, and the oil is passing over the ring and being burnt. This is only fixed by replacing the rings. If it is a oilleak coming in contact with heat, once again, check your oil circuit. for any leaks and seal.

Well you didn't state the miles on the car, but he's my advice.

If your always seeing blue smoke out your tail pipe, it's most likely the rings. If you only see the blue smoke after accelerating hard, then taking your foot of the gas pedal, then it's most likely your valves. A head grind is generally not that difficult. If you have a cylinder compression guage and know how to use it, you could try the old oil in the cylinder trick.

1. Remove all spark plugs
2. Measure the compression in each cylinder, and record
3. Add about a tablespoon of engine oil to each cylinder, one at a time, via the spark plug hole, and measure the compression again, in that cylinder.

If the compression goes up, your rings are leaking If the compression doesn't change, your valves are leaking.

There is no magic potion for a worn out engine, or broken rings, or worn valve guides. They need to be replaced, or repaired.

If that eclipse is a 2.4, and is not terribly high mileage I would be very suspicious of the valve seals. Those were a weak point on some
