- VE SS V IGNITION
10000Km's ago I posted that my engine oil light went on. Holden started an oil consumption report and asked me to notify them if it happens again.
Yesterday my oil warning light went on again. I took the car in this morning and they measured the loss, 3.1 litres in 10K km's. I believe the acceptable loss is 2-2.5L over 10K km's. They said they need to notify Holden as to what is the recommended action because this loss indicates a problem. I asked what is the most common 'fix' for this. He replied that he has not yet seen a VE at his dealership with that level oil loss......might be BS but he said they might need to go right back to the rings.
There is no smoke even on acceleration, so I do not think it can be the rings so where the hell does it go? Anyone else had oil consumption issues and maybe a guess at what is the likely cause?
