How often do you guys top your oil up.

Being new to the Type R I wondered how often I should check the oil level as I heard they consumed a fair bit when using high revs. :?:

In the manual for the CTR it says to check it everytime you refuel but i think they're just covering they're backs. Best to check it once a week. Although the ATR is a completly different engine it best to keep a close eye on it until you get a feel for how much it uses. 8)
 
I check mine once a week. I'll be doing that tomorrow morning. I find that I use about 2litres when each service interval.

Some CTR use a bit and others use a bit. I find that mine uses a bit, but I do rev it a bit every now and then :wink:
 
I check mine after each fill up and have probably put in 1/4 of a litre of oil in 8000 miles. This obviously differs from engine to engine.

Same here. Hardly used any oil at all.

Same....used to check it weekly....but only used 1L over 12k.
However..last time I checked it , it was down to half. :wink:
