VX Oil Consumption

[johnnyapollo]

About a quart dissappears from my truck every 4k miles - I'm not sure where it goes as it doesn't appear to be burning from the exhaust. Maybe the engine gnomes got a buzz from drinking it. This has been fairly consistent since I bought the VX new and I just take it for granted to "freshen up" the Mobile 1 every 1k miles or so with a 1/4 quart.

Just a heads up on oil use and changes. Just because you burn up a quart every 1000 miles does not mean you are replacing the oil every 5000 miles. The good oil burns off the particulate matter that is the reason oil nedds replaced remains behind

I just submitted a thread on this topic you may find quite helpful. The tube is around $80.
