    Hi i don't suppose you could conver to liters could you as i have no idea what a quart is
    And i use 5w/30 Vauxhall synthetic long life oil - which is better quality than Mobile One and i use .6-1.0 of a liter per 1000 miles depending if i am off roading or road driving
    cheers

    1 liter is equal to 1.057 quarts...so they are very close to being the same.

    Mine seems to eat about a quart, maybe a tad over a quart in 1000 miles. Still working on fixing that lol. small oil leak probably doesn't help much either.

    My sarcasam wasn't relayed through the internet. it's 'Algore's' fault.

    Anyway, to the subject at hand, I have no idea what the PO used in the 99 astral but it's all still in there after about 1200 miles (except the damn dipstick is ridiculously hard to tell with... Looks like Guinness at every fill-up on the stick but clean on paper. Brilliant!) Since our other two cars get Castrol Syntec 5-50, I'll probably start buying it by the case (Eek! $6 a quart not on sale... Gulp!!)
    I tried Mobil 1 in a 20 year old 240sx but it kept eating the stuff at a quart every three months. Royal Purple was worse!!

    Anybody dig Castrol for their yahzu?
