How quickly should the williams go through engine oil on average?

I drive very carefully and dont thrash it but i have gone through about a litre of engine oil in about 8 weeks. It's semi synthetic.

Is that normal?

From experience no, but all engines are different, iirc the official line from Renault back in the day was 1 ltr per 1000 miles is normal

Cheers Lunner,

Just check its not leaking anywhere or kicking out blue smoke, monitor it see if it keeps doing it

Mine drinks loads when I cane it, and I usually top it up every 2 to 3 weeks, just to keep it at the top :)
