(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Oil consumption way up. Any thoughts? Had an oil change 3 weeks ago and just added 3.5 qts of oil to get it back to the normal level. Has never been the case before except right before this change, so it seems like the oil consumption increase is new. Had the oil tested at blackstone about a year ago and everything was normal. Tested cylinder compression this fall (while replacing the spark plugs) and all 4 were in mid-70's psi. Did notice (I think unless it's phantom) a bit of a power loss maybe 6 months ago or so. The tail pipe is black, so it's burning through the oil. The oil is Castrol 03111 GTX High Mileage 10W-40 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil. Any ideas of what this could be? A turbo on its way out? The car is 2008 MS3 GT with 168k. thanks much. |
