Hi all even since iv had my miggy its used alot of oil but when i was under the car afew weeks back and all the sump bolts were lose.Anyways i did them up and the car doesnt use as much but still uses abit.the engine is a 2.0 8v with 189,000 on the clock so could it just be because its a high milage car

If the sump bolts were loose it may be that the gasket could need replacing. it may have been damaged by the loosenig or consequent re-tightening.

Right well i took the car for a spin and no blue smoke just abit of white smoke every now and then.Think it might be the engine is just worn or that the sump needs a new gasket
