    F30 316d loosing oil

    Hello

    I would be glad for some advices. I bought 2012 F30 with 170 000 km imported from Austria. Car looks perfect but in few weaks I noticed that I must add 1 liter oil on every 1000km. Mechanic checked around machine and its not leaking.

    My avarage fuel consumption is 6,6. I drive highway 130km/h. Thats is little to much I think?

    What is your thoughts.

    Thank you.

    130 km/h should be just fine on the engine. I think it only runs at 2000 RPM at that speed. I think these engines burn a lot of oil once they get some miles on them, not sure why. I looked at 328D with 80,000 miles it looked like it burned a lot oil. If that's the only issue I wouldn't be too concerned. What oil are you using? You are only supposed to use Low Ash fully synthetic and I am not sure what would happen if you don't.
