Slegacy96 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Does anyone elses 2.5L engine, specifically Legacy, use a ridiculous amount of oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commuter Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 But the first engine in my car used 1L per 7,500km. The new engine is around 1L per 20,000 km. Both Phase I blocks from the same time era. Go figure. Commuter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outback_97 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Mine used some (up to 1 quart / 3000 miles) without any puddling under the car, when the oil pump gasket was leaking. OK, that's not "using" oil, but I didn't know it was leaking for a long time, as it would work it's way out through the timing belt cover gasket and blow back under the car. Maybe a little more info would help? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegacy96 Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Mine uses a 3/4 quart every 1000 miles and has ever since i got it. And its not leaking oil either, so wheres it all going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99obw Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 What viscosity and brand of oil are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattocs Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 A little oil use is nothing...when the cam seals went i'd lose about 3 quarts every time i'd stop...and on a trip of more than 30 min i'd have to stop and fill her up again...heh...that was an expensive summer until it got fixed Now it does not use much oil at all...i've checked it...always in the OK area on the dip stick.
