having some new problems with my 94 corolla 1.8L.
Recently rebuilt the bottom end due to excessive oil burning, it got new pistons rings and all bearings, also bored and honed, now i have about 25000km's on the new engine and its heading down the same path already.
-from the beginning, ran organic for 500km then changed it for another 2500km's after that started with the german castrol every 5k not all that impressed was using 1/2 to 3/4 liter between changes, now on the last oci i changed to mobil 1 10w-30 and the oil consumption sucked it started off at the begining ok but at the end between 4000 and 5000 k it went through over a liter of oil now i donno whats going on i just changed it to valvoline maxlife 5w-30 and hoping for the best but im not optimistic....
any ideas why the mobil would do this, mind you the car gets worked fairly hard towing a dirt bike..
