    Might be the month for it........

    Just completed a 6k trip and check oil everyday. Didnt really change until last day where it was down a bit. 350kms to home so left it.

    Got home drove around a week , so maybe about 1oookms in total. Check oil and it was below min....

    Topped it up to just below Max, did about 400kms and its down to a quarter again.....

    So will need further investigations...

    Also noticed the injector wiring has oil in it, so will order a new one to replace that before it comes a problem.

    So it could be going into the wiring harness?

    Not sure how much goes into the loom, not much I guess. Not enough to show up on the dipstick maybe.

    I am wondering if its the type of oil. Mine has done around 7k since oil change and I am not sure what oil was put it. It was done by LR specialist, but that doesn't guarantee the right oil went in.

    He didn't list name and grade on your receipt?

    No, but is well known LR Mech, can only hope he put the right stuff in...... It cost me a fortune for him to do oil change.

    Will get an oil change done soon. I am in the tropics so will probably run 10/50 semi or such

    It is a Land Rover "thing"

    Well, since I added a litre of oil, maybe 200mls too much, I have not had any loss of oil. I'm not sure what is going on. Maybe using 700mls per 10k kms is within specs. This is about another 2500k kms.
    I have another trip to the ACT in April, I'll see how it goes.
    I am trying to delude myself that the oil has been going down slowly and I haven't noticed it. Yeah right.
    I guess that maybe adding a litre or two between changes is not that bad. Or is it?
