Boost and oil consumption - How many miles per quart do you get?
I threw a 190k mile engine in the autotragic car until I can find a super clean DE replacement. I really didn't check the engine over well since it was a free engine, I just did a compression check and popped it in. After getting it all together and broke in I noticed a cloud rolling behind me when pulling past 4500 RPM or so @ 14PSI. I thought it might clear up but I'm close to 3k miles on it and it's eating at least 1 quart per 1,000 miles. I'm going to pay closer attention and log miles per qt.
What kind of miles per quart are you getting and how many miles are on your engine?
Some of the info on Fiat 500's show that they consume quite a bit brand new.
The accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in the vehicles listed above is 0.946 liter (1 qt.) in 3,200 km (2,000 mi) for the 1st 80,467 km (50,000 mi). For vehicles with more then 80,467 km (50,000 mi) the acceptable oil consumption for engines is 0.946 liter (1 qt.) in 1,207 km (750 mi).
This above rate only applies to personal use vehicles, under warranty, that are driven in a non-aggressive manner and maintained in accordance
with the appropriate maintenance schedule. This rate does not apply to vehicles that are driven in an aggressive manner, at high RPM, high speeds.
Aggressive Driving
Aggressive driving and/or continuous driving at high speeds with high RPM's will increase
oil consumption. Because this may not always be an everyday occurrence, it is hard to
determine exactly how much the oil economy will be affected. A higher rate of oil
consumption is normal for vehicles equipped with manual transmissions that are driven
aggressively. Aggressive means; operation at high RPM (3,000 RPM to redline), with
frequent use of engine braking (using the engine to slow the vehicle). Vehicles that are
driven aggressively may consume engine oil at a rate of up to 0.946 L (1 quart) every 805
km (500 mi). This is normal for a vehicle that is driven aggressively. No repair is
necessary. This driving habit will require the owner to check the engine oil level at frequent
intervals, to verified the oil level remains within the recommended operating range. Oil
level should be checked every time you get fuel.
