oil usage on 2.5's?
Hi All you 2.5 STI drivers.
Just a quick question, do you guys use some oil a lot to top up?
I do about 1000 mile a month and seem to have to top up the engine oil every month. It goes from the full mark to the low mark once a month.
Now the car doesnt smoke at all or oil in water etc, anyone else have this?

when is it at the full mark?
I'm guessing you are filling up the oil when it's cool to the full mark. This is why your car is smoking and you are burning so much oil a month.
You should test the oil level of the car either 5-10 mins after driving it should be at the full mark or when it is cold it should be just above the low mark.

My old 2.0 classic didn't seem to use much at all, never had to add any between oil cahnges.
I thought the 2.5's were known for using oil, I'm sure someone will be along to confirm this shortly

Sorry the card that came with the car just states periodic inspection I thought it was something different. you will find the breather hoses will collect oil and fire it back in through the turbo and intercooler, so a catch can would collect it but wouldnt put it back in the sump

Just gone past the 20k mark in the FSTi,done 3trips to The Ring,over 50laps and mine's used about half a litre in total,since March last year when I bought it.
My '05 Wrx did the same and used about the same amount of oil,what make/type of oil you using..fully/semi synthetic?
I've only ever used Shell Helix Ultra Fully Synthetic in mine.
