guys, what is your engine's lubricating oil consumption?

[yewjunyan]

Hey guys, my ride is a wira 4g15...im currently using fully synthetic oil, it consumes around half a littre during my 7500km oil change...my engine has been consuming some engine oil at this rate although it only has 70k on clock after a fully engine rubluid..

guys, is it normal for a 4g15 to consume engine oil? im currrently u sing 5w30 bardalh fully synthetic oil...issit normal for this engine to consume more oil after i trevel high way?
guys, i need ut opinion...thanx...

sumtimes when i change to fully synth, it does consume a lil bit of oil. but, note dis, my engine has alredi done 200k+ km, and iam running higher boost then std. i think ur engine shudnt consume any amount of oil considering the mileage it had done is lil, after d overhaul dat is. as an example, my fren's waja didnt consume oil (if any, it was too lil to tell the difference), he was using mobil 1, i thik its 5-50 weight?

ic..thanks for the reply ya...i m just wondering weather my engine is in good shape anot...im currently using a very light weight engine oil 5w30....wondering would it be the main reson to cause this problem

if ur engine is newly rebuild wit proper tolerences, i cant see y u cant use abovementioned oil weight. fyi, my dad's unser is supposed to use d toyota 10w-30 mineral oil, because its a new engine.

try to change to a thicker oil ie 10w-40 and see how it goes. in my engine, it will consume a noticeable amount of oil when i use the magnetec (10-40, smokes whenever i boost up) but its not consuming any with wit d top1 fully synth 5-50 (no smoke when boosting it up).

5w30 is not for ur car la..too thin....

try 5w40..wil be better.

5w30 is for a very new car or k-cars.

ic...i feel tat the thinner felly synthetic oil will give better fuel consumption and better throttle thats y i give it a try...
any guys who got try on 5w30 on an wira before without any oil consumption?

here is my OC for 4g13 (current mileage ~120k km):
10W30 (Dino): 0.8L/5000km (average from ~35k km)
5W30 (semi, current): 0.4/5000km (average from 5k km)

i noticed OC started from ~80k km when i switched to 10W30.

if i were u, i will not worry ur 0.5L/7500km OC :)

 

[yewjunyan]

Thanks Jigc....for the sharing ya....erm, actually the oil consumption happen bcz of the vapourisation of the engine oil issit? I heard ppl saying that a lighter vicosity oil would vapourise even faster and escape through Pcv valve and get burned...
In ur opinion, my engine consume oil at this rate is consider normal since im using lighter oil rite? :) if my engine is still in good shape then good le...hehe

 

[yewjunyan]

anyway, my engine using a valve seal which cost me rm5/piece...the spare part shop claims tat it has good quality and made in japan...
guys, what's the price of the valve seal u all have been using? im wondering the quality of the valve seal which cause my engine to consume cetain amount of engine oil....It's bcz many zth forumer said that proton engine using low grade valve seal....

 

[xtremeleo]

oil seal dat cheap meh? ive never seen such cheap valve seals, not dat iam saying its not good or anythin..

 

[JINEIL2EN]

wats the brand of the oil seal..??

 

[yewjunyan]

i think ther's a misunderstanding ya..
wat i mean is rm 5 per pieces, my engine got 12 valves, so, add together it'll cost me rm60, plus labour it'll cost be around rm100...its not consider cheap..
regarding the brand, i forgot d, i saw there's a serial number on every seal...and it's made in japan...tats wat i know le...hehe

 

[xtremeleo]

i know they were 5 bux a piece, which is still too cheap imo.. if u r really they r of good quality, by all means, it is then :) if all had been done correctly, the only reason why ur engine still puffs out smoke after the rebuild is.. dat 30 weight oil isnt suitable for ur engine, i cant think y though..
