Default How much oil does you escos use/burn?

hi guys, my cossie seems to use quite a bit of oil, when i shut off, let it run in gear, then put my foot back down i get a puff of smoke now and again, i have changed the turbo but think it needs reconditioning now because there is a bit of play in it, but other than the turbo going... how much oil does your cossies use? / miles.. cheers liam

A little bit is nothing to worry about, when new Ford said 1 litre to 600 miles is normal.
