Oil Consumption

David Stroud IM Roadster DOttawa Canada '83 IM Soob

Just wondering why my engine is consuming such a low quantity of oil. I've put 10,000 km on it since purchase last October and have checked the consumption a few times now. Yesterday the last check showed 1,803 miles and it needed 1/2 litre of oil. I'm running Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil 10W30. I do have a 12 litre remote sump oil system but I can't see that making any difference.

The engine is 2,332 cc built by Darrin Krewenchuck who was known to be a good builder and I don't run the engine very hard. Any ideas ? Thanks.
