Hello,

I have a 2015 model pejo 1.2 puretech access model vehicle at 114 thousand km, I am experiencing a very different situation. div>

My car is constantly losing oil.


The situation after 1 month (I traveled 400 km in 1 month) https://i.hizliresim.com/pwzgk7a.jpg
< div>
this is not always the case, sometimes it decreases almost a little, not even a line, maybe sometimes it decreases too much like this

I mean, I didn't understand anything about this, can anyone help me if it has happened to you before, where could it come from? Does using it periodically burn fat, for example

The oil you put or put in your vehicle may be fake. Nowadays, a lot of fake oil has increased. Even from unexpected places, fake oil comes out.
So the problem may be caused by the oil in the vehicle
Another factor is the viscosity of the oil.
Oil leakage from another place. Oil leakage from crank seals, rocker cover oil filter o-rings, etc. They give off. It is sent from the ventilation to the throttle valve and from there to the combustion chamber and burned again. Although there is something to be said, I do not want to extend it further. Your vehicle should be looked at in detail.

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for your interest. I have the vehicle maintained at the authorized service, now I don't know if they can use fake oil at the pejo's own service

I use it periodically, frankly, I have to use a little bit of revs when going on a long road with 1.2 82 hp, otherwise I have to use it with a certain speed between 110 and 120. I have to use 5 gears, the car only reaches 120-130 km speed between 3.5-4 thousand revolutions :D

I have a 208 2012 1.2vti gasoline model. I'm also experiencing oil consumption. I researched it and learned it's a bit chronic in this model. I also drive at high speeds, especially when fully loaded and going uphill, and it won't start. I usually downshift or floor the gas before reaching the top of the hill to pick up speed. I've had it for eight months now, and I always carry an oil can in my trunk. I've used two 5-liter cans. I use 5w30 and plan to add 10w40 when changing oil.

Has anyone had their 208 engine rebuilt? Is there any efficiency gain? I have the same problems and am considering having the engine rebuilt.

I wonder where your hometown is. If we are close, we can go together and get it sorted out.

Sir, I have the same problem with my car. Is it normal for it to burn 2 liters of oil in 10-15 days? I assume you have experience in this area. Can you help me?
