Last march I bought a 1991 190E 2.6 5 speed with 67,000 miles on it. It was advertised as having all the records but when I bought it the owner couldn’t find them (they had just moved) so I know very little about the car. A little afterwards I noticed it used about a quart of oil every 700 miles or so, and a little after that I found this site. After surfing for a while I suspected the valve guide seals. But after changing them the oil consumption was the same. I then checked the compression and all cylinders were within 2 pounds of 184 pounds. The engine runs and starts fine. I had the spark plugs read and they showed some detonation that could be caused by the burning oil. I have some personal frustration because I have a Peugeot Turbo Diesel 5 speed with 260,000 miles on it and it uses abut a quart of oil between changes, and it probably leaks it. So the question is...where is all the oil going? Or maybe it takes a while for the new seals to seal.
