I have had this problem ever since I've boosted the car. It seems like every week I'm adding a 1/2 - a quart of oil to the car. I don't know if its my car? Or does everyone else have this too. It just seems my shit burns oil so much and I have to keep a lock on checking it. Just tryin to see how much oil you guys burn in say a week?

None actually. It is surprising because I have around 185 compression across the board but I never burn oil, nor do I get blow-by.

I usually have to add about 1/2 a quart by the time I reach about 3000 miles. I'm willing to bet this is because the engine burns a little bit of oil when cold because of forged the "new" forged pistons.

compression is good as well.

Motor has like 5k on it. I hope I haven't messed anything up yet. I'm gonna have to do a compression test later this week and see what it shows hopefully it's good.

Lot's of times with these HRC turbos, I find they're always having bearing issues, and that causes a lot of "lost" oil. I find myself having to add quite a bit of oil too. No leaks and perfect compression. Since my rebuild, my catch can hasn't seen a drop of oil. Where does it all go? lol

I need to add about 1/2 a quart ever 1000 miles. But I'm sure it's because of the huge leak in the HG where the oil galley is. My compression is solid. I need to pull the head and have it decked.

Well from what I know most of it goes into my catch can. I have a star kit tho. But yah like every few days I'll empty out my catch can and its just a little ghetto 20 oz bottle and its bout 1/4-1/2 full when I empty it.

The motor is a dead stock replacement. It's just a Jasper engine. My insurance company took care of it when i hydrolocked. If I had to pay for the block it would have been a built VT engine but I couldn't get my mechanic to get me a built engine

well I have 115,000 on my engine. star stage one for 5,000 miles and burn/lose zero oil.

thank you kaptainmykee.com for hosting

right now I think I'm just sort of puffing it out very slowly from the dipstick thing, I removed it a couple of weeks ago and forgot to add permatex to it...since then i've had a fine haze of oil on some of the parts in that region

it's always been pretty stable though

i think i may go through 1/2 a quart in 5000miles on my turbo diesel.. haha.. i'll have to check.. but like it would matter anyway.. it's got a 15qt oil capacity.

I have no clue what it is now. But im seeing like a little buildup of oil around the exhaust housing of the turbo? Could i have blown a seal? That's what I'm thinking it is...

My SRT eats oil.

I'm scared to take off my intercooler and find, what I'm sure, 2 quarts of synthetic in it.

I loose about that ammount in a month. Also I loose about 2 shot glasses worth of oil in blow by at 1 autox event. 7077 miles on this engine.
