keiron Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I own a Sept 2008 Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 bhp. It has 12500 miles on the clock. I have just started to tow a caravan with this vehicle and during a recent trip out of 175 miles I have had to put in 1 litre of oil. Is it usual for cars to use more oil when towing?

brianfixit Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is not unusual especially if you have done a high milage. I had a cortina many years ago that was sore on fuel when towing but for all the milage I done towing I just lived with it. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
