What's everyone's oil consumption like ???

thenewgalaxy

When it's not fitted with dodgy oil filters, pretty minimal to be honest!

2.5s apparently get through more oil than 2.0.

Dan-

as above the 2.5 seems to use abit of oil anyway but on my 2.0 in 7 months ive not had to put anything in

Shaun

Zero on my standard engine MY06 2ltr JDM STi.... and that's @ 480bhp.

My engine was built by a chump ..... 2.5 with forged pistons.

1350mpg (1litre to a tank of fuel).

Needs sorting soon!

But on the flip side, ill probably never get a rusty tailgate.

I'm running 440 BHP with associated mods and billet turbo and have used a liter in about 2 months ???

I used cheap halfords oil once in the past and it needed topping up quite regular, switched to millers CFS and had no issues since

blackpoolrock

That's some mpg you get there !!! Lol

Shaun

How many miles though in that time and what type of engine and how many miles are on the clock?

I`m with Shaun, Standard JDM Spec-C engine does not use/lose a drop.

blackpoolrock

How do you check it properly Gaz !? It's pretty easy to get wrong isn't it ?

Lol....Seriously John, Make sure its sat on flat ground and i usually check it once its had a little run and is warm, Pull dipstick out..Clean/wipe it...Place it back in for a couple of secs and remove and check?

Thats all there is to it mate.

Shaun

And it's easy to get right!

Level ground is the key. Either check it when it's hot or when it's cold, but just make sure you check it using the same scenario each time to measure any use.

Shaun

My previous questions still stand so spill the beans.
