Using oil?

Post by CHOPS1 »

Does anyones suzy use oil? Mine is, not alot but it does use a little.
Its not burning it, no smoke from rings or valve guides. And no leaks. Strange?

depends how much oil its using i spose? my 1.3L had no leaks and burnt nothing, but every 5000k's it'd take 2L of oil... just "one of those things".

the 1.6 i have now (have had for near 2.5yrs) barely uses any oil at all... maybe 1L per 10,000kms

Mine used litres of oil when it was around 300000Kms, but after i got it rebuilt it now uses no oil, it may just be a bit wore out.

Mine used to, so I drained all oil from my car, engine, diffs, gearbox and transfer even the steering box and mufler bearings!
I now have no problem with water in my oil, the engine no longer blows blue smoke, I save money on oil filters as I no longer need to change them and I am caring for the environment by not having to deal with waste oil :armsup: :armsup: :armsup:

Well if you rebuild it you know it's good.. (well that's relative to who does it)

Besides if you rebuild it you can bore it out to vitara pistons(1370cc :armsup: ) or don't and put in higher compresion gti pistons
slap in bigger valves and a sports cam
