what is average oil consumption on 2,5 v6 manual


Very dependent on the engine and its history.

e.g.

My 2.5V6 minifacelift uses just under 1 litre every 1000 miles, this is due to it having the heads replaced twice following cambelt failure and the 148000 miles on the clock. So, the heads and valves are all in tip top condition and the rings are aged hence it consume s a little more

My other 2.5V6 does not even go from max to min on the dipstick over a 4K interval. This has full regular oil changes using fully synth oil and has never had any engine problems or major work.

My 2.6 seems to use almost no oil from one oil change to the next.
I have no idea if this is usual or not.

No noticeable consumption although its a 97 model..

Change it every 5000 -7000 km according to season..

Covered distance : 127500 KM..


ps: if you dont have any oil leakage from somewhere else try

compression testing ..
