1 liter of oil after 10K run

[macsd]

my crv 2000 model is due for another 10K pms. Nasa 95K kms na ang odo.
i bought it 2nd hand and after my fisrt pms at 85K, i have added 1 liter of oil with in the 10K span. wala naman tulo ng langis sa ilalim or mixing with water sa radiator or white smoke emission. saan kaya napupunta yung nawawalang oil?

[niky]

Are you using mineral or synthetic? You can't use mineral oil for a 10k interval.

[technismo]

baka sir pwede pumupunta na yan sa combustion chamber at nasusunog na din yung oil..

fully synthetic sir.

is it not sir, pag pumunta sa cumbustion chamber at nasunog, it would
be emiting white smoke sa tail pipe? pero wala naman white smoke emission.

well it has to go somewhere. you are losing around 25% of engine oil per 10K km. How long po ba bago mo na reach 10K? 8-12 months? if so, around 100 ml of oil per month nawawala sa iyo. Kung sa leaks yun, imposible hindi mo makikita pag accumulate pwera na lang kung monthly e nag papa engine wash ka. so pag hindi sa leak, baka naman sa piston ring na lumulusot. sa hina ng oil consumption kaya baka hindi mo gaano pansin ang bluish smoke.

siguro observe mo na lang muna kung talagang nagbabawas ng langis o kaya naman dalhin mo na sa repair shop. pwede mo ring pa analyze exhaust mo para malaman kung may nasusunog nga bang langis.

sir , my last pms was nov 08 so bali 5 months. when i registered the car last march, the smoke emission was perfect & up to now, there's hardly any smoke being observed even in the morning when the engine is cold.
it's going for another pms so i'll just talk about it with my mechanic since i'm planning to change timing belts na rin. i'm just really puzzled where it's ending up since i've got no slightest idea nor sign. Salamat uli.

A car will naturally drink some oil given the following conditions:

1. Constant high rpm operation.

2. Use in heavy traffic over long periods of time.

3. Hard use while the oil is still cold.

4. Dirty oil, combined with the above-mentioned conditions.

What is the color of your oil? I'm assuming you're checking oil in the morning, when the engine is cold (this is the best time, the oil is all in the bottom of the sump, so measurement is more accurate).

If the oil is dark, and you drive in traffic a lot, maybe you have to change to a shorter interval... or use a better synthetic.

thanks niky for the info. yup, oil & water checks are sop for me
in the morning, color is black sa dulo ng dip stick and
slightly redish sa bandang itaas. i guess the black is because of
the dirts seating at the bottom when the oil is settled.

not really always on heavy traffic since the normal route
would be sta rosa - alabang, so mostly hiway. rpm wise,
would be around 1.5K to barely 3K with most of the time
at 2K range.

siguro nga it's on the oil since 1st time ko to use petron
fully synthetic. i'll use honda fully synthetic this time and
continue to observe. thanks uli!

k20 po ba ang engine ng crv nyo? i've read dati sa thread which came from speedyfix na normal lang daw magbawas ng oil ang mga k20 engines ng crv.

[rion]

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.

just to add, i also noticed that shell blue is being consumed once 3k to 4k after oil change is reached.

one liter of oil every 10,000 km? one-half liter for every 5,000 km? ok lang yan. that's not a panic value. just enjoy your drive.
