Ok need some help my 4x4 saph has burnt away 4 litres of oil in 1'000 miles i'm using 0w-40 castrol edge sport, it gives of white smoke when i really boot it and a bit on overrun, i've been told by my mate who followed me the other day, is this something i should be worried about? have only owned it a few months???
are there any checks i could do to know if it the valve stem seals or possibly a piston???

cheers guy's so if you do an oil change with thicker oil would this stop the smoking and the burning of the oil? i know it will still burn some oil but hopefully a lot slower!!!

An oil change to some 15/50 Mobil 1 will only cost ya around £20 for the oil (if you know where to buy it
) Plus a filter is £5 or less - easy and cheap way to see if that stops the problem.
Get the breather kit fitted as well - most tuners seem to recommend it on a stage 3 car, not many Cossies around with out them at your spec.
