120ml of MMO/naphtha in the crank case with the oil would hardly make it a hodge podge in my view but apologies if you think the title is misleading

Turns out i was a dummy and my compression tester schrader valve was leaking. Never figured it out. Oil consumption remains even after switching back to original change.

It's a damond Motorsports kit that is plumbed into the valve cover. Thank you for your input I very much appreciate it and I'll keep this in mind but I definitely experienced a leak on one of my cylinders during a compression test and can hear air escaping when I put my ear to the oil filler...

During the interval. I don't know whether consumption issues remain yet.

No idea what this means

Negative. No external leaks. Cylinder 4 has a leak somewhere

PP Euro 0W40 every 3.5k mi

Okay so my cylinder compression in one cylinder is slowly leaking down on a compression test. I don't have a leak down tester currently but I'm wondering if I add a teaspoon of oil will this help me diagnose whether it's the rings or not with a compression tester or will the pressure still...

Hmmm just realized I installed an aftermarket Oil Catch can before this interval. Would that account for any of it? Going to check it's contents now.

25000mi Using synthetic with lower viscosity prior also.

If this is true the prior buildup should return and rectify the issue right?

Thanks for the response. Prior oil is back in there. Crossing my unreasonably small fingers.

Hello all, Now this is going to seem very stupid but please give me a pass on this one. TGDI 1.6L with no oil consumption issues prior to treatment has gone through 600ml of PBR and MMO mix (3.78l PBR 113ml MMO mix) in a 1000 km. Now I know you ask if it had no oil consumption issues prior why...
