Hi all, got a Primera, and noticed that its burning oil, about 250ml every 2 weeks no sign of a leak on the floor so must be burning it off through the fuel system, only a slight sign of black smoke when you rev the engine, car is an 04 plate and has done 70K.
I have been told its either the valve seals or piston rings, both of which are expensive to fix, no turbo so can't be that.
Before I start digging and paying out loads of money, does anyone else have one of these, do you have the same issue, if so, maybe its just a common thing, some cars do drink oil.
Or, can anyone suggest anything else that it might be?
Its not a big issue, I just top up the oil level every two weeks after washing the car.
