The car has new rings installed in the engine. There is no smoke from the silencer. But there is still consumption of engine oil of about 200ml after every 1000Km. Before installing new rings there was plenty of smoke from the silencer.

normal oil consumption is 1 quart per 1000-1500 miles. give it time to seat the rings a bit more so it does not really sound out of line.
