I own a 2003 Opel Vectra C, with over 150,000 kilometres on the mileage. However, I noticed that I need to top up engine oil after every 600-800 kilometres trip. Is it normal or is something wrong please? Thank you all.

check your positive crankcase ventilaton valve...this one removes any "blow- by" and sucks it into the intake...if buggered will force crankcase pressure to cause oil leaks from the valve cover~....this will not STOP your oil consumpion but will help~
