could it possible that the oil has cloged up in the engine?
would you guys advise me to empty out the oil and fill in some new stuff or just go to vauxhall and get em to sort it?

you'll need more than just 1ltr of oil ;)

if you were running it dry, you've probs scored the barrels & so which is why your consuming alot of oil!

low oil pressure... level still too low, or oil pump is fooked, ticking noise is the valve lifters not working right due to low oil prsseure. Or its the wrong grade of oil in it :thumbs:

Need help from you guys/girls.
my car has been sounding like a diesel lately, it makes a constant ticking noise from the engine when the car is moving and when its standing still with the engine on.
Also, i recently filled 1 litre of engine oil in my car, but the engine oil sign still pops up sometimes when im corning sharply.

Do you guys no what would be the problem here?

Thanks
