Red oil light and blue smoke?
The blue smoke means that you motor is burning oil. Somewhere, the oil is entering the combustion chamber.The red oil light means that there is not enough oil in the motor to safely and properly lubricate the moving parts inside your motor.If you continue to drive the vehicle in this condition without adding oil to the motor, it will overheat and most likely cause the motor to seize up. That is, the friction and heat will become so much that the metal moving parts will heat up and expand (metals expand when heated) and grind themselves together, either causing them to shatter and break violently or stop moving abruptly, which allows them to almost fuse together.The only fix to this is to have the motor taken completely apart and rebuilt.The temporary solution is to check the oil level regularly and keep it at the manufacturer's recommended level. You MAY be able to add an oil additive (available at any auto parts store) to thicken the oil and reduce the speed at which the oil enters the combustion chamber, but too much of it will cause the oil to flow too slowly through the rest of the motor.
