Recently brought a Hyundai Getz CDX CRTD, less than a year old with only 700 miles on the clock. Unfortunately it is a repaired Cat D so is not covered by the Hyundai warrantee.
Driven it very sedately for about 300miles, yet only getting 45mpg Checked the oil level today and noticed that it had gone from the full mark to the low level mark. Not sure how much that equates to but assuming about 1ltr. So it would seem that it's used 1ltr in just 300miles
The car doesn’t smoke but that does seem to be an awful lot of oil to use in just 300miles.
Going to give it an oil change.
Any suggestions as to why it should be using so much oil and anything I can do at the oil change to hopefully reduce the consumption.
