BMW people react strongly to the new Giulia.

I was talking with one massive BMW fan yesterday about the new Giulia. You shoud've seen how he was defending BMW  "....the m4 has so called extreme mode which they weren't using when they tested the m4 round Nordschleife; it's faster than that Giulia; Alfa Romeo cheated.. " and so on

Bragging rights for my boy at school. His mates dads all drive German. Wheel up with an Alfa. With pride!

Hi all. My JTS likes a drink of oil. Use Selenia 10w 60 but wondering if anyone gets better longevity between top ups with another oil?

All Alfa Romeo engines are supposed to use a bit of oil. That's normal. How much oil is yours consuming? My TS uses a litre a year (6000ish miles) and I'm running 5w40

Gosh. Wish it was the same! Just put 2 litres in today. I check it every 2 to 3 weeks and usually looking at half a litre minimal every check.

I have a winter check with my Alfa specialist in two weeks and will sort it out.

I know I had a leak in my sump but that was repaired.

No sign of oil on my driveway so assuming the sump was sorted.

I do DRIVE it if you know what I mean. Hi revs etc. Do 300 miles a week easily so always thought it's the combination of the two.

Would welcome any advice if this may make a difference!

Saw a rare sight this weekend. Another GTV on the road and a friendly wave! Not to mention a mint Cup at the Alfa garage when I picked up my Selinia.

Up to 1 liter per 1000 km is within specifications for 2.0 TS engines. There was a lot of talk about it on other Alfa forums and there are several variables that influence it. The type of oil can make a difference, but not much, maybe 0.2 - 0.3 l less at 1000 km.

1 L per 1000 kms is maybe within specs but that's really a lot. Means you're adding 10 liters of oil between successive oil changes (every 10,000 kms). I've never seen this on any car, and I had mostly old and dodgy cars 

Personally, I'm lucky enough that I don't need to top up between oil changes (so far, fingers crossed...)

In terms of oil consumption on the JTS so have I it to me that there was a problem with the oil scraper rings that was too soft and that the  problem to some extent was corrected with the recomendation to use 10W-60 oil, but it was not quite good so in 2004 they upgraded the JTS engine with another type of piston rings.

[Forza Toon 3]

Yes. Mine is a 2004.

Using 10w 60. Selenia. Will monitor and ask my garage. Cheers all!

Yes, that was the problem on TS - scraper rings, I remember the story now. About 1l per 1000 km is something I had on my 18 years old 1.5 boxer engine with 180.000 km.

 I bet the boxer engine still sounded as good as it always does even when it drank a bit more oil.

Just as a reminder of what the thread was about.

My fault. Couldn't figure out how to do a new thread and started all this oil talk!️

One impressive Alfa.

Is that the new Dacia Sandero?   

On more serious note.. Are there any news about other versions of the Giulia?

Perhaps there is some truth in this ...   http://m.autoevolution.com/scoop-2016-alfa-romeo-giulia-diesel-and-petrol-engines-are-extremely-promising-100232.html

Petrol engines do sound promising  The 99kw diesel, I reckon will be too underpowered and slow as heck
