[QUOTE="LCP, post: 206382, member: 2424"] Be careful though, the catalytic converter is capable of "suppressing" some oil smoke, so a smokeless exhaust doesn't mean all's well. Here's a suggestion: Really monitor your oil consumption... take a note of the engine oil level on your dipstick and your mileage. Then continue driving, check the oil level every 1000km, do it for maybe 3000-5000km. Make sure the condition when checking the oil level is always the same, eg. when the engine's perfectly cold, etc. Note also that if your engine oil level is above the max mark, drain it a bit first (or your measurement will not be accurate), if it is above the max mark, there's a likelihood that oil will get blown somewhere.
