not sure but depnding on how often you use the car, it could be due to condensation as well; I'd do a compression test. Are you using water? |

not losing water, car only does about 12 miles 5-6 days a week, i'm using the halfords classic car oil probably not the best, as for breathers have one on the timing case and one on the clutch cover |

If this is a turbocharged engine, steer clear of halfords. It's not really up to the job. I use it in my n/a 1275 and its fine though.

Millers CTV or if budgets are tight we use Comma Sonic in the upside down skip. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

I use the Halfords semi-synthetic 15w40, been using it for years, I do 10k a year in my turbo 998, never had a problem. Halfords oil is fine as long as you buy the decent stuff.
Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I used Valvoline VR1 20/50 in the meccy. Never run it long enough to give an honest opinion though.

doesn't matter what oil you put in it, 60miles a week is still the problem. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

if you ar just using the car for short trips this is compounding the problem, with the oil.
