I've just been reading a query in 'Auto Express' (Issue 1293-Winter Special) where someone with atwo year-old Skoda Octavia with a 2.0 litre petrol engine and only 8000 miles on the clock has started using "a fair bit of oil, at the rate of around a litre every 2000 miles" and wanted to know if this was normal.
The answer (which surprised me a bit) was that according to online forums, this level of consumption appears to be common on this particular Volkswagen Group engine!But if it gets worse and blue smoke is emitted from the exhaust, its time to visit your local garage!!
That last bit sounds obvious; is the Pope Catholic and all that?;but I don't know if the former consumption information is relevant to you or not. My Yeti isa 2.0 Diesel and I have never had to top upthe oil that much between 10000 mile service intervals. I think in the 3.5yrs and49500 miles of ownership from new, I have probably used 2-3 litres of top-up oil. However, I also don't know how diesel and petrol engines comparein oil consumption figures, so this may not help at all!!! Sorry if it doesn't.
