It's occurred to me. And yet at normal driving at 60mph it's 1000-2000 range. I figure it's all lack of seals. She's got 92k miles.
I should have added I was using 0W30 on last track day. Mistake.
Haibeck is bound to see me one day though.

Seems my experience is in the ballpark. Heavy afternoon of throttle and twisties with lots of third gear and maybe half a quart or a little more (my 90 has seals later installed with head work).

And, this tendancy to use more "off the top" rings a bell with my use as well.

More data fer sher, but so far, very interesting!

Tom, hopefully you and Frank & the rest found a high/dry spot for your Z!

Hi Paul....welcome back! Yea, my kin and I are all okay. I'm concerned for Frank and his family. Kevin said he had contact and Frank & family are okay, but the house is a mess.

This is a description of my experience with oil consumption. Also, my theory about why it happens.
