Oil Problem

Featured Replies

Hey people

My specifications of my car are listed below

My car after getting its new-found power has beeen buring oil alot

I had a perfect compression before the upgrade of all 155psi

At first it was running Full synthetic ROYAL PURPLE 10W-40W.... and that will only last Max 2000km

Now im running PENRITE HPR 30 20w-60w and the Not bad but still my catch can is spitting out.

Am i using the wrong oil or do i have an engine problem

It usually does the damage when @ high revs

Now what might the problem ?????

cheers in advanced

hrmm, standard engine? yes you will have to get used to it. unless you replace the pistons. you have got ring flutter. very common on engines with "factory ring gaps"

unfortunatly not much you can do. just get a custom catch can made that drains back to the sump.

no matter what oil you use it will come out. have you checked the compression latly? doesnt take much to crack a ring land on the initial tune following the mods.

also, check the turbo. i have seen worn bearings in them alow boost to leak past the compressor wheel and presurise the sump..

(happenend to me, filled the can in 5 mins up the old road once)

Nice........... I hear a slap...i think it is from the Timing belt

i know that need to be replaced

These catch can the return oil to the sump................ where can purchase these catch cans

I'm not sure thats good advice? I have 314rwkw on stock internals, and same turbo. I don't even have a catch can, and I don't burn a single drop of oil. Mate, whever tuned your car might have done it too agressively now its stuffed a ring land.

The catch can back into the sump idea is also a bad one, as that oil is trashed and shouldn't be used again. I'd do a compression and leak down test, and start putting aside about $4k for a rebuild just in case. Also

Also, I've been running Shell Helix 5w40 for the past 3 years and it seems to be really good as I have almost no engine wear. All of these expensive oils seem to be a bit of a waste to me.

Sounds like Right.............. Mafia im still running off a stock manifold too

The oil in the catch can looks pretty clean man......i dunno what going on

4k for a rebuild you sure............bel garage said about 7k without the manifolds

BTW penrite hpr 30 only cost $28 for 3L
