    Interesting SSR Oil Consumption discussion.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    We have two '99's and they both used to use 1 quart plus per thousand miles. I switched to a better grade PCV and frequently changed the filler cap gasket to get a positive seal. Voilla, oil consumption way down. How do we explain that?

    I have never had

    oil consumption issues on my 2001. Some times I never even have to add oil between oil changes but I do diligently check.
