 What makes new engines burn oil? - RattleandSmoke
Is the seals which have not properly bedded in? My engine used 1 litre of oil until around 3000 miles. I had it serviced last month at 3300 miles and after it I checked the dipstick and it was on max. 430 miles later the dipstick is still on max so I now assume it has stopped burning oil (but I will continue to check it every other week).

So why did my engine use so much oil when brand new? I know it is normal but why?
