Hi all. I have a 06 Zetec which is burning a lot of oil. I topped it up just on a month ago and it has fallen really low. Car only has 27000kms? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Any exhaust smoke?
No leaks at all? A new engine will use a small amount of oil but I've never had to top up my 06 model. |

Be more precise.... How much is it using per 10k, most new vehicles these days have a allowance of using 2.5 Lts of oil per 10,000km
Which is acceptable according to manifacturers.... |
