[CU2] Excessive oil consumption

[kera_1]

Technically you shouldnt, do you guys change the oil yourself or do you go back to the dealers?
I change mine every 5000ks and 5000ks at the workshop.
Mines a MY12 - Facelift auto. Which should not be any different. Only follow the same weight and visc of the condition you drive in.
Also smell your oil(anything other than engine oil). Most likely its how you ran the car in. But its not the end of the world cos you know its a problem, buy yourself a spare bottle check it every week.
If its under warranty bring it back.
But to be honest mine does too. But I don't drive it in D too often as keep it in S and shift myself. Keep the engine in different ranges.

Honda Penrith have said tolerance is 1liter of oil per 1000km is OK

Lol a rusted great wall doesn't even drink 1L per 1000km

Seems a bit too much IMO, although by VAG/Audi standards it's fine but they use forced induction so it's expected they'd drink a bit more... unlike the Euros.

Perhaps they decided to up the "tolerance" because these days they use 0w20 to help improve fuel consumption, as the current crop of engines are over a decade old.

All about meeting those fuel emissions
But at the cost of engine longevity

I am a new Eccord euro owner. There is one thing i found that if you put the oil dipstick in the wrong way it showes a lot less oil that the right way.
