Mine consume around 250-300ml, top up once app. 4000+km then around 8000+km it will drop to the middle/slightly below mark on the dip stick and its time to change to new oil. Any concern that i should note or rectify. Tq

Mostly white smoke on cold morning, didn't notice any smoke on acceleration might be too little to notice and no stain on plugs

Yeah the spark plug still holding up after a year or more cant really recall when was the last replacement, as i just service the car 3days ago. Ask the old mechanic, i think he's about 65 years old on the codition of the plugs. He says that it's still good to go, need not change since the engine are running smoothly.

As the oil consumtion still manageable, maybe can save on the repair works. Guys.. How much oil consume to warrant it as excessive & need to repair.
Maybe i'm using the 5-30 oil. too thin viscosity ?

ols stick to your factory recommendations, thx.

thinner oil does not mean better, too thin and very bad shit like your cams get eaten.....

Tq. I thought + - 10 viscosity should be alright. Being using 30 grade for the last 2 years.

My wira 1.5 had been on 15W40 since a top overhaul in 2003 or so, no noticeable oil leaks at 7000-9500 km oil change.
Last May switch to Total Energy 10W40 at good bargain .
Why not consider Petronas 3000/Supremo 15W40, as it may help with your oil consumption problem.
I wouldn't touch a xW30 in a 300k wira.
