Hey guys,

Right give you the low down. The car never once burnt oil when I got car, got it on road still no oil burning. I serviced car with new plugs etc oil filter and oil change. Since then its began burning oil? Its clear on start up and no smoke atal when booting it or driving which just dont make sense. I used castrol 5w/30. possibly wrong oil to use? it is cammed which I dont know if makes a diff? racing oil or whatever? any help would be appreciated guys thanks

 

is it a 1.6? iv found these to burn oil.

 

na mate its 1.8 gti engine

 

Checked for any leaks in obvious places like sump nut and oil filter as these may not be done up tight or sealing properly? Alternatively is the sump leaking or anywhere else visible? Rocker cover gasket?

 

try 10w40 pehapps.

 

This will not solve your problem and is NOT the recommended oil by Ford and you will suffer sticky valves.

 

hi mate no oil leaks anywhere, in previous history my zetecs never seemed to like the castrol 5w30 so thought it may ahve been that as no leaks no smoke everything seems fine
