   Hello everyone!
   
   I need a little help please .. My saxo when I accelerate to a higher rotation sends a clear blue exhaust smoke .. the car uses the Total oil 5W40 and in about 8000km's consumed about 0.5 ml .. the spark plugs are in great condition,there´s no oil in them,no water in oil..nothing.. has no sign of anything broken unless the blue smoke on deceleration ..
   The car has a racing exhaust with no cat, a Supersprint backbox, and an simota admission ..
   
   I made a video and posted online to ask for help.

   Thats the mileage (kms) on the car?
   
   Could be piston rings or valve stem seals worn.

   Is 150000km´s on it now..at first i remenber that..but the oil consuming with 5w40 I think is normal,the spark plugs are in very good condition, the car works great when it´s hot, I don´t see lost of compression or power..
   
   I don´t understand..

    Not sure, sorry.
    
    You'd think the plugs would be oily though if it were the rings/valve stem seals.
