What is normal oil consumption for a 2013 Holden Cruze, and what is 'excessive oil consumption'. There are no oil leaks, no grey, burning, smelling emissions. Is it an internal problem that has been present since production?
Answered by CarsGuide
14 Aug 2015Sometimes new engines use oil because the rings are not properly bedded in, but yours is two years old and that shouldn't be a problem. What's normal? My car, I won't say the brand, doesn't use any oil between oil changes. If I saw it was using, even a small amount, I would suspect something is wrong. Other brands use oil as a matter of course. I wouldn't like to see any more than 250 ml used per 1000 km. If it does take it to your dealer and check it; if it doesn't keep a close eye on it.
