Probably, there is about 1 l (1 qt) of oil between the high and low marks on the dipstick (there is probably around 4 l (?), maybe 5 l total in the engine). If you think about it, going through 1 l of oil in 24 h is not that terribly bad, especially considering the age of the engine.
Btw. this is about what I use my engine during the entire season (about 30 h). just my 2c Marek From: svpegasus38 via CnC-List Sent: Sunday, June 4, 2017 22:17 To: [email protected] Cc: svpegasus38 Subject: Re: Stus-List Westerbeke 33 oil burn I use permatex D2 for threaded fittings, and a permatex black for gaskets. I also wipe all surfaces with acetone prior to assembly. As for oil usage. How much oil does it take to go from the add Mark and full? It does sound like a lot. If you burned say 3 qts in 24 hours, that is only 1 qt every 8 hours not excessive. But something to monitor.

On my big block chevy suburban I burn a quart of oil per 1000 miles. Is this normal Also I get a little white smoke when motoring. No temp issues stays at 180. Oil pressure at 50-55 Has anyone used a gasket sealer that works Thanks Peter Goonie island C&c 40 1983.
