Mine started the same way, then one day, poof, massive amounts of smoke. My oil cap is the same way. I feel it leaks sometimes no matter how tight it is on, but not enough to cause this massive amount of oil disappearing...I've got no smoke, no oil in the coolant, and no drips at all. But after about 5,000km it's all gone. Where does it all go?
I stopped putting in synthetic because there's no point anymore. I have to check my oil whenever I get gas now.
The only thing I have noticed is that my oil filler cap may be leaking, it always looks a little damp around there. It's sure on tight though...
The P5 has a problem with either over heating or oil starvation that will damage the rings, cylinder walls or both. I even know someone who had broke an arm. It's usually the #4 cylinder. Let's face it guys. Our P5 looks good and handles well but it is a POS when it comes to quality and reliability.
A compression test is not a reliable test but a leak down or visual is. I have 93k miles and have been burning oil for the last 13k. Put a qt in at every fill up and just waiting for it to die before replacing it with a used engine. Once the engine is replaced it'll be in the ads.
Mazda never made a quality car like Honda and may never will.

These cars are auctually built quite nice if you dont drive them like they are a little race car all of their life....Nice fit and finish..not the best motor to mod, but nowhere near a POS by any means.That's is really mature. The truth hurts doesn't it or did I burst your little bubble?(rlaugh)

Yeah, it happens... Any news? Have you tried getting a leakdown test or a valve seal test?WOW i missed alotta drama by sleeping in...
damn (rofl)
Oh wow, I'm not having any problems like that. Just lots of smoke and oil consumption.no haven't had time. but its getting so bad that if i don't keep it revved it bogs down and wants to stall when i put it in gear
