Absolutely - my Austin Apache (which was basically an 1100 with a triumph style front end and saloon/boot) had an engine leak (cannot remember where from).
But I took 2 friends up to Harare from Thornhill AFB (about 170 miles) - pulled into petrol station in Gatooma which was approx half way - they said ''need petrol ?'' not really says I but we will need some oil
.
My main use of the Apache was across town to the gliding club so the oil consumption was not normally a big deal
