It's not actually chronic. 1 liter per 1000 km is a lot, but the loss is normal, and even more so if you have LPG. Always keep an oil can with you. You can add more as you lose fuel, depending on how much space it takes up. 1.6 VTIs are a bit better in this regard, while 1.2s and 1.4s are different.

Your vehicle is losing slightly more oil than is considered normal. If we begin by asking why oil is losing oil and what oil burning is, we can understand more clearly. Oil is in the crankcase. When the vehicle is running, it passes through the oil strainer and filter and is pressurized by the oil pump through channels to every rotating part. This oil, which circulates within the engine, is held in place by seals, gaskets, o-rings, and felts. If you're wondering where this oil shouldn't enter, it should first be avoided in water channels circulating within the block, such as oil channels. Any warpage or bend on the cylinder head or block surface, a burnt or corroded cylinder head gasket, or cracks in the oil channel or channels within the block can cause oil to mix with water or oil. This is much more dangerous than burning oil and requires immediate action. Now, let's get to the problem you're experiencing: the piston operates within the liner. The valves above and the piston rings below the cylinder head provide a seal to contain the pressure generated by the explosion. This sealing is essential. This area is called the combustion chamber. To prevent oil from entering, as I mentioned, the piston rings at the bottom and the valve stems at the top prevent it. Over time, the valve stems lose their properties and begin to leak. There are also many reasons why the piston rings at the bottom can deteriorate. They deform and fail to provide a seal. In other words, if the valve stems at the top or the piston rings at the bottom fail to do their job, oil enters the combustion chamber. It burns with the air-fuel mixture and is expelled through the exhaust. This is called burning oil. Vehicles that use oil often experience blue smoke in the exhaust. Now, if oil enters the combustion chamber, it's good, but the piston rings or valve stems can't hold the pressure created there, and depending on the damage, some of the pressure is forced into the engine. When the oil cap or dipstick is removed, you can directly see this extra, unnecessary pressure. This is called engine blowing. A compression test checks your piston rings and any other components that provide sealing in the combustion chamber. This test determines whether the engine needs overhauling. Oil loss can also occur when the oil used is not suitable for your vehicle, is fake, of poor quality or the viscosity is chosen incorrectly. There is a lot to write, I'd better end it here otherwise the topic could go on for a long time, I hope I was able to explain the situation.

I wonder if you had the engine rebuilt in my car, too. I haven't found a solution, so I'm thinking of getting it done and selling it.

I also put Shell 5-30w and it doesn't decrease for the first 2500 km, then it starts to decrease.

Has the car gotten louder?
