spudley1988 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Howdy chapps, checked the oil the other day i my MB3 and was under the bottom marking after maybe a month or so of driving, which will be close to 2.5-3k. Should these use oil naturally or am i just doing to many spirited journeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 First thing have you got any oil leaks? all your seals & sump ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 sump plug was leaking but got a washer on it and that seemed to sort it. Not managed to get underneath due to constant rain but there's not any oil puddles or anything where car sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 honda's do use oil but that sound like it using a bit to much that why i asked about seals/leaks,,, but if your quite a spirited driver then that might help towards the oil usage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudley1988 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I usually like to as well for peace of mind lol, but due to really needing oil had to settle for this stuff. Hopefully someone can answer this for the both of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
