I have an 02 ctr that I have had for about 6 months. I had Silkolene Pro-s 5-40 put in when it was serviced. The car seems to be drinking oil at an alarming rate and is starting to worry me.
I am having to top up with about half a litre every week or two. I do short journeys during the week of about 3 miles to work and then 3 miles home. At weekends I do longer journeys of about 60 - 100 miles each way. I always keep the revs below 4000 during the work journeys. On a weekend I do use vtec a little but always make sure that I have driven at least 10 miles before doing so. I have only run the car on optimax fuel.
Is this ammount of oil usage acceptable or should i be getting my dealer to check it out?
I know there are lots of questions about this in the forums but am after your views to put my mind at rest.
