BMW = Oil Drinkers

So in the last few days I’ve seen the oil light flicker on the BMW. Strange because I know I’ve kept up the service to BMW spec.

I called Budd’s this morning and was told that I’m not due for a service, however, “those motors do tend to burn a lot of oil” so I’ve been instructed just to top it up.

However, I think this is pretty crappy considering the car has just over 38,000 km’s on it.

I know ALL motors burn oil to an extent but geez - that seems like a lot for such a fresh motor.

If you think that’s bad, you should check out the RX-8!

ehh rotaries are meant to burn oil, thats how they lubricate.

Early 90’s Jeeps are brutal on oil too.

theres should be a spec on how much oil the engine will burn…
c if u can find it
if u a over the spec and the cars still under warranty, go back to the dealer and complain…
