cossie oil usage?
How much oil does everyones cossies use? I understand different specs and driving conditions will alter this but im talking just on average. My spec is big turbo standard internals seimens 55's around 400bhp. I seem to be topping it up every time i go out in it.

Mines not used a drop yet and it gets a good kicking every time it goes out!...saying that I've probaby not done a 1000mile in it yet lol
Most performance cars use someware around the 1ltr per 1000 mile mark

Yeh it prob uses a litre every 600-800 mile i would say. It doesnt smoke on full chat or on start up and it runs fine. Would a different oil breather help? I have a bailey one on at the moment.

The ST is a modern everyday engine built to high tolerances so will use less oil but then that isnt hard when comparing the two...PMSL.

There's a fair few E46 330i and E39 M5 engines that'll do a litre of oil per 1000 miles - few owners on PH in the M-Barge thread that were shocked how much their cars get through on long Euro trips
cant wait should look mint trying to persuade the misses to get me some comps for xmas aswell lol

20K+ Super Poster.
I got through a litre in around 50 miles, but that was with 200K on the original bore/pistons, now new with 1 1/2 thou clearance so will be normal.
Some oil will go past the step gap in the turbo anyway, unless you have a step gap seal.
Different oils will go at different rates, and faster the hotter the oil, that's why I run a stat oil/air cooler, and was using 20W50, comma MINERAL oil.

The YB was designed as a high revving race engine so the bore tolerances are wider and also the wide temperature ranges of the combustion need more thermal expansion.

I remember fudge Having a 200sx that used to use that sort of amount, it was an utter smoke bomb!

As said from new in the handbook it states 620 miles to a litre is normal and nothing to be concerned about. It seems as you may need a engine rebuild or have a problem elsewhere.
Do you/others notice alot of smoke when driving along?
