burning oil?

[Pedro]

You could be right my 200GT has done 51.049 Klm & I usually put a yogurt pot half full of oil every 4-6 weeks depending on its use the specs for these engines when new was approx. a litre per every 5000 Klm? maybe more maybe less but as they become more worn is is not uncommon to them using around a litre every 1000-1500klm they also suffer with carbon build up in the valve chambers which can cause oil usage you could try changing to a 5w.30 spec if the current oil is 0w.30 but that is pretty excessive for that amount of mileage to say the least allowing for the car being properly serviced?

It does depend on the mileage you’ve done during that time. The Prince engine can be thirsty in that respect, but as has been pointed out, not all of them are the same.
It’s worth having a look for any oil anywhere on the engine or underneath where it’s been parked.

If there are no obvious leaks and no warnings on the dash, you might just have a higher usage engine. See what the garage says when they have a look at it. If the report comes back negative for any faults, you will just have to do regular checks on the oil level as it’s very important not to let the oil level get too low on the RCZ or it can be very expensive.

The amount you’ve mentioned having to top up does seem quite high.
