Maintenance Items:
De-carboned/Walnut Blasted the intake valves in 8/15

I recently have noticed that i am burning engine oil....i get a small amount of dark exhaust in 1st and 2nd gear... and i have to add a bit of oil during the interval period.

Any thoughts ideas?

Hello!

MINI's are known to consume oil. How much oil are you consuming every 1000 miles? Is the dark smoke while driving at normal speeds/acceleration or is it when you're accelerating quickly?
