Hello All,

I have a 2006 X5 4.4 with 106,000 miles one it. My car seems to be burning oil at a rapid rate. I have topped up the oil a couple of times to check the frequency at which the check oil level indicator comes on. And the oil consumption is averaging about 2000 miles for 8 quarts.

I took it to an independent auto shop and they checked for leaks and did not find any.


I had the spark plugs and coils at about 100K miles and Crankcase Ventilation Vent PCV Valves as well.


Would you guys know what could be the possible reason for this. Would appreciate it if you share your experience or guide me to where I can find some more info.

I did look through the threads but I wasn't able to find much more information than changing the CV valves like above.

thanks in advance
