I burn oil as well. I think it's just normal and more so with FI cars.

but a liter per 1000km, that just seems like alot, i may have burnt 1/4-1/2 quart between oil changes (3000 miles). I'd make sure everything is still sealed and properly tightened.

that was before when I was running NA. I rebuild it because it burned so much oil. Now with built motor, it's still under 10,000km, but I've burned about 300ml to 400ml with about 3,000km + 1 track day.

I think most of it is due to the heat in the turbo and probably the ringlands until the motor gets up to operating temps.

my built motor has about 12k on it so far and it doesn't burn much oil at all. I change the oil every 5k and I think it was down about 100ml one time. The car has been down the 1/4 mile over 50 passes in those 12k with a lot of hard driving on the highway, dyno etc. But it is NA, maybe that makes a difference?
Mine didnt burn a drop. If you are only burining 0.4 Quarts in between 3K-4K oil changes then its nothing to worry about as the H22 loves its oil. If its more then it sounds like a clearance is out of whack some where in the build, probably in the piston ringing. Do the Arias come with 3 rings or 2?
