-==L=a=N=c=E==- Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane, Queensland Registered: January 2004	Re: Oil viscosities and Consumption Sat, 20 August 2005 04:51 I just checked my oil levels, and sure enough, i have the same 'oil burning' as rav-gt4 is getting. I've gone thru 1/4 the dipstick since i last topped the car up (and that also includes the oil used by the filter). It isn't blowing smoke. There is oil in the intake. There isn't any oil leak on the pavement (save the power steering pump). I went over all the clearances, and the overly larger 35thou clearance for the pistons i believe is the culprit. As i was talking to spectral to it, and it makes an evil kind of sense. As forged pistons expand more then cast pistons do. So cold engine oil consumption must be right up there. Should i be worrying about it? no not really. Just means i have to properly warm the car up otherwise its just gonna keep sucking down the oil. Just my 2.2c's worth. Correct me if i wrong (please don't, i don't like un explained oil use.... ) [Report message to a moderator]
