how much oil does you scoob consume - 2.5 engines.
Hi all,
I have recently had the head gasket changed and have noticed that the car seems to use a fair amount of oil, all my milkeage is motorway and usually sitting at 4k revs.
Is this normal, its a 2.5 engine on the hawkeye sti.
Thanks

If it's used a litre in 450miles that sounds excessive for an OE setup. Intact that's excessive full stop!

My 2006 2.5 WRX Hawkeye use practically no oil, in fact my last oil change was 2k ago, I drive the car hard all the time and I cannot see that the oil has gone down on the dipstick at all. My car has 43k FYI.

hey if the head gasket has been replaced take it back as the car as been overheated too much and piston rings are ether burnt out or stuck in effect you need a rebuild or new motor mate 1 ltr per 450 miles is way too much

I'm sure I've read before that normal use can be anything upto 1 litre per 1000 miles, but that would still suggest yours has excessive use. Good luck with the checks and hope its simple/cheap mate...........

Going to monitor usage now.

Ye mine hardly uses any oil no matter how i drive it, obviously its always warmed up n cooled down properly though. It is a standard engine as well, no mods.
