How Much Oil Are You Using

[DJM1989]

Hi boys and girls after reading posts on rollaclub for a while i found there are some people are running some sad 4k's like mine that love to burn oil. I was just wondering as a bit of a joke how many people have motors that are burning oil and how much oil you are burning.

 

I am useing about 5l every 2000km

LOL!!!!!!!! can you even see outta your rear view mirror?

 

no point servicing it, just keep topping her up

Not that much but this thread just reminded me I need to top up mine. Sweet.

 

At least you don't need to do burnouts, just rev it hard and make squealing noises. Save you on tires too.

My 3t in the T18 burns none, well obviously some but not an amount that shows on the dipstick. Only has 125xxxkms though.

BLZBUB666 it was both, but burning more than leaking if that makes sense lol i so hate 4 speed gearbox's they fail at life hahahahahaha

[B.L.Z.BUB]

I have a 5 speed and I'm still revving that high. Tired old 4k with 665 thousand k's on it... should be in a museum not in my car. Oh for a overrated 5k...

Unlucky if only i could change centre's outta my 36 diff and put it into my 70, i'm getting a 5speed box this weekend for my 70, and it has a 5k in it but it's not overrated on, Oh well i've got a 4k here to build for boost so then i shall see how much oil it uses then :fuzz:

[DJM1989]

4.11 diff gears are gayer than freddy mercury's snotty love stick, the only thing 4.11's are good for is drifting, circut racing and tight tracks

[DJM1989]

Everytime i start the car i get a nice puff of smoke, just to let me know that skimping on a head rebuild will bite me on the arse
