colinnwn Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 How much? Up to a quart every 1000 miles or 30 days seems common. Mine does it. But I think at least half is leaking rather than being burnt. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 16 years & 106K miles I have had no leaks & have never had anything near that volume. More like a quart every 6-10,000 miles/1year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a quart every 6-10,000 miles/1year.I bought mine 13 years ago at 135,000 miles and had similar usage. Today I'm at 255,000 miles and I use between 0.5 and 1 qt a month, but as I said I think a lot is leaks.I do have a lot more startup valve lash than I used to even with an excellent oil filter with good anti drain back valve.

Mine had 147k miles and never lost oil except one time when I pushed it really hard two days in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
