Mitsubishi Pajero 2000: Excessive oil use

Asked by Peter

The 2000 NM Mitsubishi Pajero I have just bought has used over two litres of oil in 1500 km. It has only done 98,000 k and doesn't leak or blow smoke. What can I do?

They are prone to using oil because of worn valve stem seals, so I would have a mechanic check that.
