I like to drive my 750, pretty damn hard! Too hard maybe? I don't know.
I service often and currently use Mobil 0-40w New Life and I am topping up the oil every few hundred miles, whenever the dash tells me. It is not a great amount I have to put in so I am wondering whether this is normal given the viscosity of the oil, the nature of my driving and of course, the M73 engine.
I have noticed my exhaust is a little smokey (white) but it isn't a great deal of smoke, engine compartment is tidy and there are no visible leaks.
I had over filled my engine coolant (sorry E38 enthusiasts) and noticed a pale-green gunge on the inside of the oil filler cap. After dumping a bit of coolant down in Kent, then a HARD drive up to West Yorkshire, checked again and it was clean so corrected the fault.
Suggestions please!
