Default Oil consumption

Hi everyone

I own a MY04 WRX and do 20,000 miles a year of town and motorway driving.

How much oil does your car consume over a 10,000 mile period?

Thanks

thanks powerman. From what I have been reading that sounds about right. My WRX use more oil than any other car I have ever owned before.

My M98 UK Turbo never used any oil ever. My STi6 uses about 0.5 litre every 7,500 miles.

my00 uk turbo hardly uses any at all ,got 48k on it now and would say over about 10k it may use a litre -probably the best car ive ever had for oil consumption to be fair,its all relative to how your cars are driven/serviced though so theres always gonna be differences between cars.
