Hello again with new problems.
I have a fiat seicento sporting spi with 163500km.

I have it from 160k around 1 year, since then i have changed the oil, oil filter, anti freeze 3 times, steering rack, tie rod joints, fuel filter, front brake lines, thermostat, timing belt, alternator belt, a/c belt, expansion bottle with the blue cap, one engine mount, one rear wheel bearing, belt tensioner, water pump, engine block cover lids, spark plugs.
I dont think i miss anything but there is more to change like shocks (i dont think they have ever changed, speed bumps and road holes feel like i am running offroad), clutch cable and clutch kit (leg press workout pedal) and more!

Today i check the oil and the oil level is on the minimum in the needle.
The oil "was" Motul 10/40 6100.
No i don't make oil clouds from my exhaust and no oil on the floor on parking.

Any ideas? I love this car but it doesn't seem to cooperate!

Yes, worn out engine :( The factory manual for a lot of cars with the FIRE engine states that the maximum oil consumption of the engine could be as much as 1 l. (that is, from max to min) per 1000 km. And this is considered still to be with acceptable limits. A compression test would tell you a bit about the state of the rings and valve seals.
 
Hi there,

If the old girl's done that many Km then I'm sure she is entitled to burn a bit of oil - but I would have expected there would be some evidence in the exhaust emissions ie blue smoke.

Get somebody to follow you and see if they can see anything whilst accelerating (rings/cylinder wear possible) or on lift off (valve stem seals possible)

If your car was mine I would keep it topped up and wait for a nice second hand engine to come along at the right price if it started to give me sleepless nights
 
Well today i add oil it took only 1.5lt to maximum the needle.
Is that posible from the lower to the max is 1.5lt?

But i have make a mistake and i have add more than that is there any problem i will cause?

I check also that in cold start there is no smoke from the exhaust.
