I did a post on the 7th 0f 2005 with 289000km. Did a oil change on Friday and she now has 399986km. She is starting to (loose) oil, not blowing any smoke, about 2 liters every 3-5 thousand km. Will have to change my signature very soon.

 

Perhaps the PCV valve is sucking it into the intake??

 

I can't remember ever changing the PCV valve.

 

that could be it then lol
