Help-missing oil

[ImPrOvIsE]

Since Ive had my car I have had to constantly replace oil and even more so of late. I cannot see any oil leaks anywhere and I dont think Im burning it.(never seem any smoke)

Just wondering if any of you people might have any ideas of what is happening to the oil. Other than the quick consumption of the oil the car seems to be running perfectly.

Replace or top up? if ure changing the oil and looking at the dipstick and it reads full its probably incorrect. U really should run it a bit afterward and then recheck the level. (just thought id check first)

All depends on ure launch times, get a guy with a stop watch:D

If there are no oil leaks and it's using oil then it's most likely being blown past the ring-lands, get a compression test done to check.

top up i mean

If it were blowing past the pistons ud be getting alot of smoke and probably oil coming out the head.

Is it alot of oil? how much oil over how many ks?

about 4 litres over a 3 month period consisting of around 3000ks

4Litres !!

bloody hell , it's doing it's own oil change!!

There must be blue smoke coming out the rear, get someone to follow you and fang it.

Failing that get a leakage test done to it and I would say you have blowby or something broken ( piston , ring , scored bore ).

Sorry to be the bearer of sad news ...

Cheers
