Oil Consumption

[nardo-R33]

Is it normal for an r33 to use a bit of oil when u thrash it? An it comes on only when I Brake hard? And how many litels is the oil sump on an r33 ?

Thanks guys

IF the oil light comes on when you break you are VERY low on oil. Do you check the dipstick?

Its not normal to use "much" oil if there is nothing wrong with the engine. IF you have broken ring lands, leaky vavle stem seals, a leak elsewhere, then yea it will loose oil.

You can fix this issue in a few quick easy steps.

Step 1. Get into your car and start it.

Step 2. Slowly and carefully drive it to your mechanic

Step 3. Explain your problem, pay the bill and drive home.

Step 4. Sell your car, as you clearly have no idea and belong in a Kia.

Only you know what oil you are using, not us, so how could we comment on that? Also, the light coming on under braking is due to the oil level, not type. Check the level!

my R33 probably has 300 000km on the clock (wound back in Japan, wound back at dealer, wound back by 1st owner, wound back by 2nd owner, etc.)

I'm using cheap $35 Castrol shit and it doesn't burn any oil, I've trashed it on the track, etc..

I think your car needs to be looked at.
