Is it normal for a 406 to burn oil? I only ask as I got mine serviced in Feb and my oil level has dropped by half already!! I've checked for any leaks but can't find any, any ideas anyone?

Re: Losing oil
Sorry chap but what engine is it? I don't think anyone will search through your old posts to find this out you see 
btw the HDi never uses a drop of oil.
Sometimes a different grade oil will burn off quicker, maybe they used something a bit 'thin' like a 5/30W.

Doh!!!
Its a 2.0ltr petrol, 2001 non turbo
, the guy that did the service said he used the recomended grade oil, but I'll have to take his word on that. In all fairness he did do a good job, even down to greasing the fuel filler hinge, (probably why its now broke!)

I put Mobil 1 in my 2.1 as I got it for nothing.
Burned half of it on 1 length of the M6!
Stick to the gloopy oil, it lasts longer.
