Excessive Oil Use Definition
Smart state that more than 1 litre of oil loss over 1000 miles is excessive. I’d have to agree, it’s very excessive. If you experience half of that oil loss I’d recommend getting the car looked at and possibly having the engine reconditioned. It’s not going to fix itself.
