Re: [ST] Oil usage



I have read several oil tests. In all the tests the oils will evaporate from 7% to 15%, just being hot. So I don't think your 300-400mls is very much. Thats right in the normal range. It does vary with oil brand, so check the MCN or other oil tests and try a brand will a lower loss rate.
