My friend 2001 s2000 burns oil as you can actually see the car blowing white smokes when pulling.

I think KrankVents could cure the problem but I'm not too sure about it as mine has no issue with burning oil.

definitly change to a thinker oil. i was burning 1lt per 1000km with honda FEO now ive switched to 10W40 and it has not burnt a drop in 1000km and i dont think it will until the 5000km oil change. :D so very happy.

and to dvs-s2k i used to use mobil1 in my integ and it never burnt a drop either... what cars do you put it in generally? first bad thing i ever heard about mobil1.

i've heard bad things about mobil 1 for a while mainly in turbocharged cars (s2k is my first na) not only oil consumption but burning/ blackening of the oil. Not sure wot exactly it is about the oil but have heard alot from people in the trade not to use it. I personally only use motul and ive never had any problems.

I'm having difficulty finding an affordable synthetic 10w-40. The only one I've come across so far is the Motul 300V at about $125 for 5 litres. Just wondering which 10w40 you're using.

You can use Motul 8100 5W-40, Castrol Edge 0w-40 or Elf Excellium GP 5w-40.
