I recently bought a 84 242 turbo. The day I brought it home, week and half ago, I changed the oil. Well today the oil light came on. Checked it and sure enough it was really low. Put it one quart and it just registered on the dipstick. It has no leaks and doesn't blow oil. I did the italian tuneup a couple of times and after the 3rd go round no trash from the exhast at all. This car I see has a oil cooler and the turbo is oil and water cooled. SHould I use 6 quarts instead of 5 when I change it? What would cause this much consumption in a 2 week period?
