lingling1337 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Soooo I've been trying to track this problem down for a while. Leakdown test shows 5,8,5,10. Consumption has remained the same through 3 different turbos I've had on the car. Valve cover gaskets are leaking, and PCV valve is original. I'm going to change those two and monitor the situation. Oil is Rotella 5w40, switching to Castrol 10w30 at my mechanic's recommendation at the next oil change. Anyone want to take a crack at this one? I'm at a loss for what could be consuming this much after the leakdown test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 My concern is that switching from a 40wt down to a 30wt oil could increase consumption. I'm wondering if the pcv valve is stuck closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 PCV is a quick fix so I'm ordering that from Fred beans today. I know valve cover gaskets won't leak that much, but it's the only obvious leak so I may as well do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
