Also wetness around the rocker cover injector body seals i wouldve thought...

Same here,we have three turbo diesel vehicles and I use Penrite HPR in all of them,it's bloody good oil. Pat

I haven't done any testing for years Pat, but am going to do some with the Disco so it'll be interesting to see how things look seeing as all compartments are from the same blender.
Very happy with the way the 4HP22 is shifting, especially as the Multi-Vehicle FS isn't on the ZF approval list.

After reading four pages of the reasons why the engine is using oil.....no one has suggested going back to basics...a compression test, as you may have a broken ring, is the crank case being pressurized?
I do like the suggestions of trying a different type of engine oil like the HPR diesel, as that is what i use and my 2.2 does not use any oil.

There has been several comments about crankcase pressure, and a broken compression ring in any diesel will cause huge running issues and visible smoking from unburnt fuel. OP has stated he has no power loss and smooth running. It is a strange issue yes.

Rick,I've changed the DSG fluid in our Golf run a bout to Penrite's DSG specific fluid,it's not on VW's oil list either but the stuff works.

Got a tricky problem with my 2016 defender that i thought collective wisdom may be able to assist.
Cars done 111,000 and it's started burning heaps of oil over the last 5000kms. I'm talking more than a litre every 1000km. No loss of power, no obvious smoke on start up or high revs, no starting issues, no overrunning on shutdow, no oil leaks. Oil pressure checked and all good. Rocker cover and sump off and nothing obviously out of place.
Heaps of oil through the air intake and turbo/intercooler. Appears to be coming in from the hose that runs from the rocker cover to the air intake just before the turbo. I'm thinking its pumping too much oil up to the top of the motor, and essentially overflowing but seems strange. Maybe the oil pressure relief valve in the oil pump?
If anyones got any ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Sam

Any resolution?

I have the same problem with a 2010 2.4. It has been burning about 1 litre per 5000 km for some time. No loss of power, no heating or other outward signs and seems to be running well. Our mechanic Ben (good guy) suspects blow by from ring wear. Vehicle has done 190000km. This is my third 110 with no problems previously. Always serviced oil changes at 10,000km.

Still to get to the bottom of this?
