[s-cars] Burning Oil

[Cody Payne]

Hey Rob,
    I had this issue "before" the turbo change so not sure it is turbo
related.  Going to keep an eye on the oil consumption... (RedLine
10W-30) When I removed my x-over pipe for my RS2 EM install I didnt see
much oil in the tubing nor the Samco hoses
 
If it is in the engine "how" does oil get past the piston rings besides
leaky valves stem gaskets?  Can oil defy gravity and be "pushed" up past
the rings of the pistons in to the compression chamber?  Thoughts on B&G
RF-7 (not sure it works w/ Synthetic oil) or STP Smoke Treatment? (Not
that my car is noticeably smoking)
 
Thx
 
cp

	Short term solution?  Buy a case or two of Mobil1 to have handy
every 1K miles or so.
	
	Most likely you are getting oil passing through the bearing of
your new turbo and getting into your intake system where it is happily
coating everything inside and slowly, virtually undetectably, getting
burned off in the fuel mixture.
