Thanks Simon
Yes oil check as per instruction.
Dipstic is actually green on this car.
I've checked the oil so many times now, the results the same.

Colvert - if the oil was getting past the rings and burning, I think there would be tell tale signs on the exhaust pipe and also you are likely not to have the performance and probably some rattle/vibration.
The engine is tight and fast and feels like a 60k engine should.
I know i might be wrong, but this is the third ZT-T ive had (190, 180, 190) and the fastest and smoothest.
If the rings are a problem, is there an easy test other than a compression test?

Thanks
