lipso Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 my 04 fusion 1.4tdci has 116k and drives well but I only have it 6 weeks or so but seems to need engine oil topped up, so far twice from min to max after having done 1700 miles - can't see any oil leaks?? I'll admit that most of the cars I've owned (petrol) have needed topping up but my last car a 2001 1.8tddi focus with 136k which I had for 2 years never needed topping up and always stayed at the max level on the dipstick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gombal Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I know they used to say that if you're oil consumption didn't exceed 1 litre per 625 mile (1000 km) it was still oke.That's the general rule but i don't know if it still applies today. Mine also uses some oil (6000 km (3750 miles) and 1/4 of the dipstick) so not as much as yours. But it could be anything (reving it high also makes it consume more, i rarely go over 2500-3000 rpm).
