Do I Need To Drain My Engine Oil?

[heller44]

Every engine burns oil.. it just depends on wether the amount lost is visible on the dipstick.

Are we talking oil going to the catch can?

Every engine burns oil.

It is normal.

As said before, it depends on whether it's noticeable in 5 - 10K kms.

If the engine didn't burn oil, that means oil doesn't stay on the bores, which means the rings would rub hard metal to metal, and wear out insanely fast. since a small amount stays on the bores as the rings slide past, when the cylinder is ignited, that oil is burnt off, and then recoated on the next revolution... Hence, oil burnt.

Also with turbos, it can be EXTREMELY common to get hot oil vapour etc sucked into the catch can.
