2008 Daihatsu Mira Engine Oil Reducing


Lasantha R.M.

Question

I use Daihatsu Mira m/f/yr 2008 car, after every 1500km runs engine oil limit goes down by half (1/2) liter, i do input extra oil to the tank to match the level, but no oil leakage to see surround the engine room or garage floor, this is a big issue? without a repair running this situation is not good for the car isnt it?

Is it low on power, indicates a worn ring set, is it difficult to start in the morning? 

Also what is the mileage , 660cc right?

What is the oil you use, a thicker oil may help a bit 

You can go two ways about this 

Either way do a compression test - if low

1. Take the head out, check the bore, rings 

Replace only ring set, run for 30 40k more if it maintains adequate compression 

2. Or run as is, im sure with your given data it can do 30000k odd more,  till it gets hard to start and the engine is badly worn,

Failing emissions etc,

do a full rebuild including the bore and the bearings etc

Or put a new recon engine provided you know the mileage.

@ admins - the title?

welcome to the forum.

Firstly rename the thread heading to something meaningful. 

Secondly - do you observe increased blackening /soot build up on your exhaust pipe?
