I have about 1400 miles on the last change. Just checked it and still the same, didn't burn any. 25,000 miles, Mobil One high mileage.

Rich,

Do u do any additives to that?

Re: What kind of oil consumption are u experiencing?
 

No additives, I did run the Joe Gibbs break in oil when I first put it back together, and ran that for about 600 miles before the change. So as you know, there would be a little left in the cooler.

Re: What kind of oil consumption are u experiencing?
 

1/2 qt. Every 1500 miles. I change it annually or 3000 miles including filter, whichever comes first. These days it?s annually with Amsoil AMOQT - Synthetic 10W40 High Zinc Oil

Since doing the injector housing gaskets, my oil consumption along with an occasional puff of blue smoke has pretty much ceased. Also, the mysterious disappearance of coolant in the overflow bottle has also ceased...:)

I have about 40 l on this motor it?s a 90 but has valve seals I change the oil every 3 k and if I use a 1/4 of a quart that would be the max I use 10 r40 mo Ike one

Re: What kind of oil consumption are u experiencing?
 

less than 1/2 a qt. at every oil change 3000 miles. Mobil 1 10w40

Re: What kind of oil consumption are u experiencing?
 

Yup... my guess is that most the oil burning we see on LT5's is actually from the lower injector housing Gaskets... Every single one I have ever looked at had loose IH's.

Well I need to recheck now that Pete took care of TWO oil leaks I had. One from the oil pump access cover, and another from the O ring of the chain guide tensioner.
