GappySmeg Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 oil level half way between half full and max (3/4 full) .its had 1.5 litres in it in my two weeks of owning it Just to clarify... although you've put in 1.5 litres, do you know what the oil level was when you first got it? Could it simply be that the oil level was stupidly low when you got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it simply be that the oil level was stupidly low when you got it? oil level was on half way mark when i got the car so i topped it up and its used a further 3/4 of a litre over 500ish miles Edited July 2, 2016 by wilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 3/4 of a litre over 500 miles may be something that you can live with, compared to the 1.5 litres over 500 miles. Yes, ECV same as PCV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargara Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 As a fellow 04 DE owner your oil pressure seems normal to me, but the consumption doesn't. Good luck with the troubleshooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff E Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 My 05 has done 95k and oil pressures same as yours. Just done a trackday, nuts and thrashed etc, no worries. Does not use as much oil as yours but at 130k ! Oil consumption and oil pressure not related issues. Just keep pouring the oil in and enjoy . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 my guess would be either sticking pcv valve or leaking rocker gasket/s. ive also read of poor quality oil filters causing low oil pressure, first action fresh oil change and good quality filter and report back. ive used 500ml of oil in the last 1000 ish miles but that includes x2 track sessions, so i dont worry too much. david 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
