may problema o wala, IMO, hindi worth mag pa bukas ng makina kung 1L/10k lang yung consumption. hintayin nalang muna if it gets worst, before considering overhaul. just take better care to make the 1 liter consumption stay as is.

Ah... dark black na? YOu can change it already.
Not all synthetics are created the same... some are better than others, others are labeled so they look like they're synthetic, but if you check the specs, they're actually a synthetic mineral blend.
As long as your spark plugs, upon inspection, aren't wet... then the 1 liter drinking per 10k kms is likely normal.
Easiest fix, switch to the synthetic brand the casa recommends (some casas and manufacturers no longer allow outside oils because of the variance in quality). Check how long it takes before the oil gets dirty, and check how dirty it gets before drinking. My car drinks oil, but only after a certain threshold has been passed (the oil gets very dirty)... simply because I have a tuned, hot-running motor and an aftermarket air filter (which allows a little more dirt into the engine than a stock filter). If yours is the same, no issue.
You can also try (so you don't spend so much on changing to a 5k km interval), changing your oil filter every 5k kms, to try to make your oil last longer.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
