People with 230,000+ miles. How many quarts are...

[Popinski]

How many quarts are you burning at how many miles? Now I'm burning 1 1/2 quarts every 3,000 miles.

My '94 LS400 has more than 260k miles now, it used 1/2 quarts of oil every 3-4k miles since new, the last 30-40k miles it seems to burn 1/2 quarts every 2-3k miles.

My 98 Camry V6 with 205k burns maybe half a quart per 5-7k OCI.

I could basically not add any at all for the duration of the run since i fill her up to the top dot every time.

My '00 Legacy did not burn anything. That thing was a champ! On to the next owner, still running strong.

93 c1500 chevy truck, 4.3L, about 1 qt/ 5k miles (220k miles)

01 blazer, .5qt/5k miles ( 195k miles)

If I change it at 3500 - 4000 miles my Camry will be at most 1/2 qt down from the full mark. If I wait longer it starts to burn off a lot faster!

My truck uses no oil at all if I change it every 3-4k.

My '97 Nissan truck (2.4 liter 4-cylinder) with 216,000 miles doesn't seem to burn any over the course of 6,000-7,000 mile intervals.

 

[JHZR2]

Yes, I have a 4.3 in a chev pickup. 250K miles using about the same amount. Those are bullet proof engines. John--Las Vegas.

92 Camry 214,000 miles about a quart every 2000

 

[bruckus]

2001 honda civic EX. 267,000 miles. Burns about 1 qt in 5000 miles using any 5w-30 synthetic oil. Brand doesnt seem to matter. Uses the most on highway driving. Still runs like new.

 

[ffracer]

My '95 Ford Ranger with a 2.3L Lima engine and a 5-speed manualhas 200k and has been revved high daily and burns near nothing.

Used Mobil 1 5W-30 and then later 0W-30 on 5k changes.

I had an '87 Honda Accord LXi with a 5-speed manual that I got rid at 305k and it used maybe 4 oz of oil per 4000 mi changes of Mobil 1 5W-30. This car was revved hard and ran in autocross for 10 years. Very entertaining driving.

 

[ltslimjim]

1/2 - 3/4ths of a quart every 3,000 miles.

My Avalon will burn none for the first 4,000 miles. If I run it 3500 more it will go through a quart.

Is that due to the oil shearing out of viscosity grade? That would cause me to adjust my interval such that that wouldn't happen.

My 05 Civic with 215000 miles doesn't use any amount detectable on the dipstick in 5k miles with Valvoline 5W20 bulk.

 

[Popinski]

Well, maybe I shouldn't say 1 1/2 quarts because I do have small leaks.

Oil dipstick reads full between 5000 mile changes.

94 Intrepid w/255K on it... burns maybe a quart in 5K (probably doesn't burn it though... leaks it out.)
