My car is burning oil about 0,5 l/1000km (1 quart per 1200 miles). It’s been steadily growing as the engine gets more kilometers on the clock.
I’m going to clean up the PCV valve and do an engine flush, as I have had some slight help from these previously. But clearly the engine is just wearing out.
My car is 2005 Nissan Primera with 4-cylinder naturally aspired 1.8l gasoline engine, 325 kkm on the clock. I’m planning to drive the car as long as it drives well, up to 500 kkm, when it’s time to change for a fresher car.
Manual states that full SAPS 5W-40 (ACEA A3/B4) is the correct oil for it, and that’s what I have been using. But I’m starting to worry about my catalytic converter with this rate of oil burn.
Would mid SAPS oil be helpful for the longevity of the catalytic converter, to help me get to the 500 kkm with the original converter? Are there any adverse effects on changing from full SAPS to mid SAPS oil, ACEA C3?
