BEP51 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Sports do use more oil than most cars, however they also have a tendency to wear out their piston rings. this may be your problem. I hhave to top my oil up by about 300ml every 1.5k, which isnt bad considering it isnt driven in the most economical fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LubLupo Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 There is no economical way to drive them, too much fun!! Im having to top mine up every 10 days or soThe piston rings have been mentioned before, i think i'll try that first.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
