RE: ccv or something more serious?
What grade of oil is in it ?
Is it leaking heavily leaving patchs on the ground
Is it smokey at all
Last time you topped it up did you put the full litre in did you dip it afterwards were was it on the mark on the dipstick

5w 30 llo4 spec.
its not leaking any oil on the drive that i can see.
no doesnt seem smokey at all.
i put the full litre in but i cant remember where it took it up to on the dipstick .
i will get the ccv done and go from there.
Re: ccv or something more serious?
Start using the dipstick it might have been well below the minimum point on it when you added a litre you probably could of added more
Since changing from castrol to millers iv noticed a considerable drop in oil consumption over 18 months still likes a drop just not as much i dont keep records though just got used to it and always keep a litre in the boot
Do your ccv if its still the same try moving to a 10w40 oil
A quick simple fix for m54 oil consumption doesn't exist unfortunately [emoji20]
RE: ccv or something more serious?
i checked the dipstick before i added the 1 litre of oil and it was just above the minimum level .
i am nearly certain i checked after i put the oil in but i cant remember where it was.
i am going to top it up tomorrow.
