For the burners...

[nfpgasmask]

OK, a few weeks ago, Ascinder said I should try a different motor oil to see if my burning changes. So I got to thinking about it, and maybe I should try something else. Lately, I have been driving alloverthefreakinplace, back and forth to the new house from the old house from work, etc, etc. It seems that with hwy miles at 65-75 mph, my VX burns about half a quart ever tank, which is terrible.

So, what I want to know, is for those of you who have a definite oil burning problem, what kind of oil are you using? For those of you without any burning problem, what lube are you using in the engine?

Right now I am running Mobile-1 10W40.

Thanks - Bart

I lose about 1/4 qt per 1000 miles or so - it's done so since new, but sometimes uses a little more or less for whatever reason. I use Mobile-1 10W40. I don't think mine is excessive but could be wrong about that - it just makes you more aware of your truck.

I use conventional oil and burn a quart every 1000 miles or so. City miles

I think I am using the Quaker state torque power 10w40 and have not burnt any oil. I changed it the same time we did our tranny's

I have always run Mobil 1 5-30. I see a 1 qt. loss at 1500-2000 mi. I change the PCV valve every other change. I run the oil 3500 mi.

Boy, this post did not go where I expected. Mobil1, new PCV each change, and Lucas synth booster in the oil, top cylinder lube in the 93 gas, K&N oil filters. Never used oil between 3000 mi. changes. I drain out what I put in the last thirteen times (I drained all the fluids an' grease and changed them to Mobil1 the day I bought it)It has just over 36,000 on the odo. One of the lucky ones? Or an engine that has been nurtured from birth? You decide

How often do you check it? I notice with mine, that it will be fine, be fine, be fine, and then be gone!

I check it every time I fill up my gas.
