this was discussed recently, i use my car like a wimp and stretch its legs very rarely, my car is bogo standard, so far it hasnt used a single droplet of oil.
to be honest id expect a car of this performance and age to use alittle but not massively excessive

the handbook states that upto 1 litre of oil usage (dependant upon driving style and conditions) is normal per 1000km (600 miles)
so thats normal, and thats from new
dont worry

What if there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust (not anything at all) and nothing wet in the exhaust downpipe/turboexhaust... hmm and actualy nothing in my breather without a drain?? No leaks from seal and so..
Mine uses juuuust under a litre pr 1000km..

How many miles has your car done and is it running standard boost etc as this can raise the oil consumption figure if it's been chipped or whatever??

Hi 330Cosworth
A little chip, earlyer it was 275bhp (now between 230 and 275 because of lower boost when changed actuator), city driving a little highway and not much beating.
VERY healthy and fresh when driven, and still it have done 178.oooKM no bad sounds when cold or other..
I am very sure that it must have some blowby... when warm and driving hard there are no smell of oil from for instance the breather.
