My old corolla was burning lots of oil before the engine blew up one morning so I have been paranoid about checking oil every time I give it a hard trashing.

Approximately 300ml. Should I be worried? I topped it up this morning. Im also using Shell Eco 10-30W oil.Common issue, particularly after a longish run.All cars generate a bit of "oil", however it is only some raw fuel being added to the sump when the car is being run around town.When you take the car on a decent run, the oil gets hot enough to vaporise the fuel off, and the oil level goes down pretty quickly.Just top the car up and everything's fine. Most cars burn some oil, particularly the lower viscosity ones. I suggest that you change back to a 15w/40 or 15w/50 product of your choice because the 10w/30 is a bit light for our engines, either N/A or "T".

turbocorty Donating Members 178 Member For: 21y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 03/10/03 03:19 AM Share Posted 03/10/03 03:19 AM I think it is.. I have heard many stories... But my car chews it like petrol..If I drive it hard, the oil light flashes at 5,000klm after a service.You can imagine my suprise when my oil light came on at 5000klm on the oddometer I have now accepted the fact after being rejected by Holden "They say 2.5l per 10000 is OK".Next car will be a XR6-Tbone for sure!!
