I've been keeping a keen eye on my CSL's oil consumption and over the last 7000 miles it's been in the region of 0.3 - 0.4 litre for every 1000 miles, depending of ambient temperatures and how hard it's been driven (i.e. commuting or mostly TD work) no prices for guessing my intended usage
I'd be VERY interested to see & read the official BMW bulletin, advising increased Oil change solutions.
Thank you please
Matt, mine doesn't consume any oil (now you will tell me you change it very quickly).
I do change the oil so frequently on my own and I am amazed about how thick the oil is only after 5000 km.
I can't imagine how the oil looks like after 20000 km (even though you would have added another 2 lt in the meantime).

I am sure that the oil consumption is related to the oil getting fecked up.
That's not good for this engine with F1-like piston speed.

BMW bulletin solutions later on

Thank you please

PS1 : Dan, change the oil oftenly, no matter what they tell you in the dealership
PS2 : it would be interesting to have stats from members with oil consumption and gas emissions, I am pretty sure the oil-thirsty cars will have more emissions

I couldnt tell you in all honesty how much oil mine uses as I change the oil after every trackday. The oil in the engine gets to 125*c so over a trackday running constantly at 125* I think it best to change it. The breakdown at that temp is significant.

Most the M3's we service use not a drop of oil over a 10k period so I suspect that Matts engine has some wear somewhere.

And in 1500 miles mine used not a drop.

Most manufacturers have a tolerance level for oil usage per 1000 miles.
1 litre per 1000 miles in most cases. So 10 litres of oil per service period is deemed ok. Too much IMO. Its to cover their own backs a some engines tolerances differ, many variables decide this, ie running in adhered to, hard acceleration when cold.

And If you guys are constantly putting oil in as Matt is, I suspect your running in period of low revs was definitely not adhered to on your CSL's.

Well, that'll explain your zero oil consumption m8 (lack of use ) + yours is a lower mileage CSL then mine which I've owned now for 8 months ... it's not a daily driver (weekends & TD fun only) but I love the CSL so much I've managed almost 7000 miles in that time. Five UK track days, two Ring Trips ( 77 laps so far ) and one Spa trip ( my first ever 16 laps )
In that time I've changed the oil & filter once, in between the Inspection 2 it had, just before I bought it in October '09 and I'm about to do another in between services oil change, some 3000 miles away from the next scheduled BMW Oil Service

That's wonderful Matt but, I'd love to be able to afford all those track days and Ring trips! but it still doesn't explain my ultra special CSL that can grow it's own oil!

Thank fook Dunc has done a dry run for me with an engine swap at Murkett's god bless the warranty as it'll take a beating if I've got anything to do with it if/when my car needs something!
