Your oil is going somewhere & if it's not leaking out onto the ground, it must be going out of the exhaust.

Hi Cancunia, 

It might be worth looking at that as an option but I thought it was very frowned upon to be mixing grades of oil? The oil in it is total inos and its specification is C1, after market we can only find 0w30 in C2 which I believe is slightly higher SAPS. I've tried all the motor factors, halfords and the garage has tried Dingbro but they cannot seem to get the C1 oil it only comes from citroen/peugeot. I means if I change the oil grade myself gradually as it uses it I will need to use the C2.

This presents another problem because it is almost 100% certain the engine is burning it and with 320 odd thousand on it I'm not surprised but I didn't expect the burn to be as high. I have another berlingo and that is a 2010 with slightly more mileage on it and it burns nothing at all. It was also used on the same kind of work while it was working but now it is just my partners run about. 

As mentioned before the turbo is not passing oil and its had leaks on both ends of the crank fixed along with the cambox seals, camshaft seals and the rocker cover was leaking so its had a new rocker cover and seal fitted there too. These were all done 25k plus miles ago now and the oil loss slowed slightly but is still present. so the only other thing it can be is burning it. The secondary issue to this burn is the DPF, the original lasted 215K the replacement one is all ready returning a fault code for being worn so I'm expecting the EML to pop up soon. I assume that the more oil being burnt = more soot = faster filling = more regenerations and thus faster changes. Problem with the DPF on this is I cannot get one aftermarket anywhere for some reason so it comes from Citroen and the last one cost over 600 quid. I will be unable to do anything with this DPF but if I fit another it will need to last the remainder of the cars life as once it becomes a retired taxi and just a runabout those kind of bills will send it for scrap.
