I seem to be getting through alot of oil. Say a litre a week at least but no sign of leaks.

All is running well but dipstick soon becomes dry very quickly

I have had a rebuild around a year ago with forged pistons fitted. Do the forged ones go through more oil

Thanks

Anyone?

Power seems alittle down to or maybe thats just me! But was also wondering if it could be a worn turbo thats causing the high oil consumption

have you checked inside your intercooler

scoobyhep

Its 1993 slanted type intercooler. How easy is this to check?

remove the intercooler mate and see how much oil is in there (you will have a small amount) also check the intake one,does it smoke out the bk i.e on boost . have you spoke to the person who built the engine

scoobyhep

It smokes alot on start up but then settles once warm, have'nt really seen much smoke on boost.

cars with forged pistons can and do use more oil. This is due to greater clearances needed in the bores. mines uses 1litre/1000miles

Hi, This could be down to the warmer weather were getting so maybe nothing to be concerned about.
