So recently I've noticed that my car was using more oil than normal. Both tail pipes looked a bit more sooty that usual (not one, thank god!).
So yesterday it went in to my local Indy for an oil change (I do it every 12 months and it was due anyway) and a general check over.
So, not heard of this one before, but the cause seems to of been the oil separator starting to fail. So new one installed, new oil, everything should be good again.
Do like getting the car checked every year, it also needed two new track rod ends on the front, now feels much tighter and also one of the front tyres had a bulge so getting new MP4S' on Tuesday from my local F1 who is matching the online price of £164 fitted
Wanted to put this in in case anyone else is looking for reasons for oil consumption going up as I hadn't heard of it before!
