takes oil like crazy

[smoothraf]

I was wondering, i have an appointment for next week, but since my last oil change, 5000km, i have had to put 2 full can of oil in the speed, i can't see where it goes, since it's at least 2-3 time more than i'm used to add, someone have experience this before, maybe the car smokes blue but i did not notice so far, wondering if someone can maybe tell me my problem, no spilling anywhere

pull the stick halfway out, push it in, then pull to read

Pay close attention to your exhuast color if any visibility. What year, and has your turbo been replaced? If it hasnt and has bad seals, that could be it, but then again, you would see smoke. Also, check for leaks under the car.

No leak, no smoke, but the engine sound a little different, not much, but little difference in the sound, but anyway i will see next weak, i'm just wondering, but the dealer does not seam stressed, since the check engine keeps turning on and off, but thanks, where is that oil that i keep putting in, that is my question

How much is a "full can" of oil?

 

[smoothraf]

It fits what 4-5 liter in the car, i have had 2 liters since last 5000km, usually i always have to add maybe half to 1 liter, so now it seems alot, anyway i'm not a mechanic so i do not know

Hmm I have never had to add a quart to my car in any of the 5000 mile intervals.

The PCV could be stuck open which would cause oil to be sucked up through and into the intake manifold. Used to happen on the Mazda6's (not speed) a lot.

Not a good sign. Be sure to have it written on your next Mazda service receipt.

The dealer doesn't seam to stressed about it, i told him the check engine light keeps turning on and off after 100km, 5 more days, without really using it,

The dealer isn't stressed 'cause it ain't his car. That much oil consumption isn't normal. I've never had an engine "use" that much oil in such a short time, even with a known leak or burning. The worst I ever had was a quart a month (1,800 miles or so).
