OIL USAGE Concerns & HARDTOP now fitted. (archive)

Amber 'oil-can' indicator lights up at 2,200 (approx).
Had oil levels checked, indicator was correct, levels were LOW. I am feeling a little 'uneasy' about this.

I have been told that the car would use a little oil because the piston-ring pressure against the cylinder walls had been reduced, which allows the engine to produce an extra 50 BHP. However, I consider this level of usage to be unacceptable.

Does anyone else have comment of the subject ? Please let me know.

HARDTOP is now fitted and, well, the car looks magnificaent, really. I hope to publish some pics soon. I am so pleased though.
Adam.
