Hi, I'm just curious out of all the people with a mk2 focus with the 1.8 duratec he lump in them, who has to top up there oil between services, mine seems to be burning about a litre every thousand miles or so.

It's an 07 plate with 52000 on the clock.

Hi, My previous focus was a 1.8 Duratec He 2008 and I never needed to top it up. Have you checked for a leak Possibly around the sump ?

Had the mk1 1.8 never used any oil either

2009-built Mk2.5 1.8 - 57(ish)k on the clock and negligible oil consumption

I have that engine but haven't done 500 miles in it yet so I don't know if it has consumption issues, but with 124k on the clock odds are on that it will.

Usually a sign the piston seals are worn to be honest it will only get worse if it is that as always check for leaks in the engine bay

There's no leaks at all, it's dry as a bone. I only do very short journeys so might have something to do with it.
