As mentioned, I'm getting very high oil consumption on my CW3. I get puffs blue exhaust smoke on hard pulls in first (say at a junction trying to pull into a gap). I'll sometimes get sustained blue smoke after a long motorway drive. Once had it billowing blue smoke after pulling off the motorway, after pulling over and topping up the oil and letting it cool for about half an hour the blue smoke stopped.
At this point, if I make any long drive I know I'm going to be blowing blue smoke when I arrive and I'm going to need to top up the oil. I'm really hoping I don't need a rebuild and there's something else that may be an issue beyond piston rings.
I'm running the recommended 5W30 oil, could it be the brand I'm using? This one specifically -> https://drbcarspares.co.uk/products...-5ltr-engine-oil-for-petrol-and-diesel-atn005
