Is this normal oil consumption?

[grave marlin]

So first photo was taken around a month ago, the other one was taken today

[prime pivot]

is that oil cold or hot

[grave marlin]

Lost this amount of oil in 1100 km

[grave marlin]

Both cold

[prime pivot]

it looks like its not moved much

[grave marlin]

Yeah but is it normal, my dad's RAV4 doesn't move at all maybe when it has due for an oil change it has moved back just a tiny bit

[abstract hull]

How many KMs on the vehicle

[grave marlin]

211767

GG @grave marlin, you just advanced to level 1! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[grave marlin]

Btw when I last changed my oil I didn't fill it up all the way so the first picture with slightly less oil is a tiny oil consumption

[abstract hull]

What is your oil change interval

[grave marlin]

10k km

[abstract hull]

I wouldn’t worry about it then, just make sure you fill it the correct amount. And if you want to be a little extra cautious, change your oil at 8k km.

If you notice it getting worse or you see a leak, or excess turbo shaft play, I’d re investigate.

[grave marlin]

Last oil change was 7k km ago btw if that makes a difference

Another thing I think it's important to say is that I do a lot of highway driving like daily

[abstract hull]

Highway driving is actually better for an engine believe it or not (assuming you’re not going as fast as possible). Short city trips is what gets them.

I note that in both images you are running about a quart low. Be sure to top it off when you get a chance.
I definitely would not exceed a 8k oil change interval, and prefer every 5k to be truthful.
beanoblob is correct, as long as the majority of your driving is highway and minimal stop and go stuff (or dirt roads), the 7 or 8k change should be fine.

[grave marlin]

I might do 130kmh or 80mph sometimes but keep in mind my car is a 5 speed manual and a diesel so it's doing 3.2k rpms and it redlines at 5k so maybe that isnt too healthy for the engine

[abstract hull]

He’s in KM, so 10k=-6200mi

[grave marlin]

can't be a quart low its more like 0.2 quarts in each picture

not in each but from the first pic to second pic its definitely no more than 0.2 quarts

[abstract hull]

Where is the other marking on this dipstick?

[grave marlin]

Around there

[spiral garden]

@abstract hullExactly... In US terms, 5000miles (8046km) should be your max interval, with 3000miles (4828km) for stop and go traffic type drives.
@grave marlin The bottom (lowest ) hole is your minimum levels. The upper marker is you maximum or full level. I simply noted you were running at the minimums in both pictures.

[spiral garden]

can you double check that, just to be sure... Usually both upper and lower marking are spaced about an inch to an inch and a half apart (3.81cm).

[grave marlin]

Oh yeah I'm 100% sure the other marking is there

[grave marlin]

You can kinda see it here

[abstract hull]

I’m far too imperial coded to even think properly in metric as far as this stuff goes 🫠, you’re correct.

[sour steeple]

If your car are "eating/drinking" oil yes that not normal

[abstract hull]

It’s a d4d, he will be fine because a piston crack is what will kill it eventually.

[raw thorn]

Its normal oil consumption for a d4d dont worry about it.

[grave marlin]

In how many km would you think that'll happen lol

[abstract hull]

It’ll happen by 300k (take this with a grain of salt)

[grave marlin]

Nah I'll reach 400k surely

[abstract hull]

Hot weather + high load for long time all at once is what does it

[grave marlin]

What makes u think I have hot weather or drive under high load

[abstract hull]

Also it can just happen

[abstract hull]

But this can increase your chances

It’s just a d4d stereotype, I’m busting your balls

[grave marlin]

Bruh 😭

[abstract hull]

Its what they do 🤷‍♂️

Volvo redblocks get piston slap and D4Ds crack pistons

🤝

[grave marlin]

Lovely

But isn't that because of carbon build up?

[abstract hull]

Which?

[grave marlin]

Wdym

D4d

Thankfully I can't find any piston cracks on google about my engine 1ND TV

[abstract hull]

Heat + long load + injector issue causing incorrect combustion

[grave marlin]

Oh really

[grave marlin]

@abstract hull do you think it's fine to use a engine flush additive on my next oil change?

[abstract hull]

I wouldn’t, what are ya thinking about?

[grave marlin]

Before I bought my car the previous owner had very clear oil and after I changed it the oil I'm using it has turned black pretty fast so I think there's sludge that need to be cleaned up

[silent shale]

GG @grave marlin, you just advanced to level 3! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

[abstract hull]

That’s a diesel, it’s what they do. Use a full synthetic oil and you’ll be fine.

Not sure what the previous owner did to maintain clear oil?

[abstract hull]

In combination with 8k km(or preferably 5k km) oil changes

I own a Mercedes turbo diesel and it gets 5k km oil changes with Rotella T6

[grave marlin]

Yeah I'm aware but since previous owner had clear oil I thought maybe he did flushes

But I'm seeing mixed thoughts about it online

[abstract hull]

A diesel is going to do that

It just will, the oil will turn black

[grave marlin]

I 100% agree

[abstract hull]

I really don’t know what he could have done to stop it. It’s from soot and crap getting past the rings (which is completely normal a brand new engine will do the same thing). It’s supposed to do it and it’s fine.

[grave marlin]

Alright

[abstract hull]

You may have purchased your car from a wizard

[grave marlin]

@abstract hull should I disable my egr?

[abstract hull]

Not in a modern engine like that

You’ll just piss off the computer

[grave marlin]

Oh ok lol

[abstract hull]

If it was something old enough to not have an egr temp sensor and stuff I’d say go for it
