Halloween Jack Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hello, Got a 2007 Focus 1.8 petrol that is using at least 1 ltr of oil every 1000 miles. Has 44K miles on clock and has been service to schedule. No sign of any oil leaking from engine. No sign of burning oil from exhaust. No sign of oil in water. I check it every 2 to 3 weeks and it goes from full to a completley dry dip stick in that time. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? without sounding rude the oil has to be going somewhere usually from the sump when the oils hot and as you drive it blows under the chassis of the car there would be oil visible if you get under the car if there are no leaks at all then it is either getting passed the piston rings or the engines overheating and burning off the oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halloween Jack Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Can't see any oil under the car and like you say it's going somewhere. Will have to book into garage. Could be expensive then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Do you know if the correct oil was used at the last service? If the wrong type and grade were used it may well be burning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
