Title: Oil consumption
Post by: steeeve66 on 04 August 2018, 09:05:28 pm

My Gen1 has started to 'eat' more oil lately, it used to munch through around 100ml every 1k to 2k miles or so but I think it's started to get through more now..

Is this normal for 35k miler? What's everyone else's experience?

Due to the hot weather?


I find they use a bit if caned, but otherwise they're frugal enough.

Mine is on 103k miles and I don't need to top it up between services.

..it's a worry - nothing appears to be leaking, inside or out. Any ideas where it might be going?

If its not leaking anywhere then I guess it must be burning it? Oil is cheap enough, I would start to monitor it and work out exactly how much you are loosing.
