Excessive oil consumption 2000 accent
Hi
I have a 5 speed manual transmission accent. In the past 3 months I have been adding a litre of oil every two weeks.
No signs of leakage on the ground, no smoking or burning smell.
A friend put in a new pcv valve, no change.
I use 5/30 synthetic oil. Don't want to take it into a mechanic w/o knowing what it could be.
Thanks for all your help.

You may have worn piston rings. I had a similar issue with my Sentra 2002.
As an inexpensive tryout go back to conventionnal oil and use Lucas Oil Stabilizer : http://www.lucasoil.com/products/dis...l%20Stabilizer
Replace 1QT of oil by 1QT of Lucas. This will give you a ratio of 25% Lucas.
I used Lucas the last 2 years I had that vehicle and it worked out for me.
Good Luck!
