went on a 4 hr drive with a bit of thrashing and it used 4.5L, compression is 155 - 170 on all 4. when parked on a hill, oil even comes out the exhaust. Oil is not leaking from engine so must be burning. Since compression is so good it shouldnt be rings correct?

Oil control rings dont contribute to cylinder pressure

Using that much oil I can't understand how you can miss the cloud of smoke following you around....

by **gleem** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 6:03 pm

Was it topped up at some time during the 4 hrs.? If it wasn't, yet was in need of 4.5 at the end of the drive, for a 4L capacity engine, it's now scrap & not worth the bother.
No oil has ever come out of an exhaust pipe unless it was after the engine self destructed & is now scrap.

You'd be surprised how much oil will fit in though.....

I've drained a good 6-7L out of a 4afe before.....

i'd be worried if i owned a 20 valve and it wasn't using that much oil.

you'll be sweet, just keep it topped up.

What 4.5L? i've got one now 240000+kms and it might use 1 L every 7500km. I would be upset if it was costing me, more than a bottle of oil every 4 hours.
4 hours, so around 400kms or so.. thats over 1l/100kms, so rougly $10 per 100km on oil....

I'd probably just ignore the troll / levinguy, clearly has no idea what he's talking about :lol:

Depends on what driving the car had done before hand. Its easy for a car to be driven 500km round town then go 500km straight and lose upwards of a litre in one go.

Loosing 4L in one go is one for concern. If it can be seen, you wont get a WOF and Mr Police will be interested in releaving you of some cash for driving a "smokey vehicle".

As to where? Try valve train tolerance. 20v's are looser than the town bike from factory. Add mileage to this and its a recipe for high oil consumption.

dont they hold about 3.5-3.8L at the full mark?

by **gleem** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 11:04 am

yes was topped up and to be fair it was auckland to kikoe and back so was a bit longer than 4 hours

by **CelicaGT8** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:04 am

oil achually comes out the exhaust! crazy! as long as my car follows yours it wont run bearings

by **lee90** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 10:15 am

well even i rebuild the engine still eats oil just keep it top up.

i top up every 2 months or check it every 3 days to make sure it dusn't run out of oil~~~ :lol:

If you've rebuilt the motor and it still eats oil, you've done something wrong.
My silvertop has done 302km's now, and uses about 4l per 5000k's :lol:

leaks a fair bit though

Website · by **Bling** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 7:22 pm

But I thought a rebuild was just pulling it apart and rebuilding with the same parts? :lol:

Mine probably uses 4L per 5000km and doesn't leak a drop :twisted:
