RS2 Oil Consumption

Post by RS2MAK » Mon Feb 12, 2007 7:27 pm

My RS2 seems to have a drink problem.

Is it normal for her to go through 1 litre of oil every two weeks?

All I do is about 500 miles per week to and from work on mostly motorways travelling about 80mph.

The car has a slight knocking sound from the top of the engine which I have not heard before so I checked the oil and it is about a millimetre off the bottom so the oil is going somewhere.

I have placed this on S2 Forum to see if they can come up with anything.

My RS2 has never required any top ups between oil changes that have been done every 5,000miles.

Glyn you must float about the two forums the same as me.

I have put on that forum that I have been using Castrol GTX Magnatec and also another Castrol one in a gold bottle that I can't remember the name of.

For good oil advice it might be worth sending a PM to Oilman (Simon from Opie Oils).
The last oil that I put in my RS2 was Castrol RS 10w-60, that is now renamed Castrol Edge Sport 10w-60. I think that was on the recomendation of Mihnea.

Echo that. In the four years I've had mine, she's never used any oil between changes.
