I have an 09 R3 with 33k miles that I bought about 2 months ago and i've almost gone through 3 quarts of oil now. First 1 was penzoil 5/20 (was in a rush and it was on the lower line no flaming lol) then switched to castrol 5/30 on the second 2 quarts. I just see these other people that claim they redline once a day and are going 1500 miles on one quart where I've already gone through 3 quarts in 2 months/1500ish miles! I cruise at about 3-4k shift at around 4500-5500rpm and redline a few times a day (don't hit 9.5 very much usually 8k) I'm just curious if anyone else's series 2 drinks it like mine does :-/ I'm not worried about the expense I just don't want to ignore an underlying issue ya know.

unless you have a leak or MOP problem oil use is heavily dependant on how you drive

lead foot and high revs = more oil use ( track use I have used 1-2qts a day)

granny driving = less oil use


If you are worried about it take it to the dealer and they can check the pumps out

Love how the rotary n00bs post up like this is a problem when just the opposite is ...

Too much oil use is still a problem, just not nearly as severe as too little oil use. A slight malfunction is still a malfunction.
