My Fiat Stilo is coming to the end of it's life unfortunately.
She has only 100,000 on the clock but when I bought her a couple of years ago she wasnt in the best health and I have battled with her for a while.
I have an MOT in November which will confirm the inevitable and also gives me some time to work out what to get next.
Anyway she has started using a silly amount of oil. I drove down to Essex last week, 300 mile round trip, and I used 1ltr of oil.
It has been using more and more oil these last few months but it's getting to a point where it's a wee bit costly.
There is no sign of any leaks, and my conclusion it is worn out piston rings and or seals.
I have seen these 'Stop Oil Leak' products on Amazon however I am skeptical they will help with the amount I am using.
I use 10W40 currently and it's a 1.6 04.
Apart from simply constantly topping her up with Oil these next few weeks does anyone have any advice?
