secret oil drinker,

[MOFO]

my car has drunk 1ltr of iol in 4 weeks, is this normal????????? put 1ltr in a month ago but now the oil--------- light came on along with the service light,

how much should you put in each time?

 

[stevo123]

sounds heavy to me, have a look round the engine for any leaks, if your motor is high milage then it may be just burning the oil off through worn rings and or valve stem oil seals. I wonder if an emission test would help-anyone know if it would?

Sounds high to me, i haven't never had to top the oil up in my MK2 172, and she's now on 63K.

 

[MOFO]

only on 33800 miles,
oil filter was full up with oil?????????

 

[matt25172]

not had my mk 2 172 long iv done about 1500 miles in it and noticed my oil needs topping up already too, its used at least a ltr of oil prob more.

If you press the trip reset button when you first switch the engine on as it says OIL OK it gives you an oil level as a series of progressive squares.
Mines a 1.2 16v 54k and its never burnt any oil, and I give it some stick.

If you rburing more than 1 liter per 1000 miles I'd look at why if its an older engine and its on track then fine.

Renault say so long as it burns more than 1lieter per 600 miles its not right but anyhting over 1 liter per 2000 miles I'd look at why.
