Look at that list again, you have it backwards. The engines that are reported as burning more oil are European, mostly specifying thicker oils. The thin-oil engines (US and Japan) aren't on the list for the most part.
Yes, Subaru is a thin oil engine. Germans are higway, sorry, Autobahn speed engines. Both are consumption causes. Ford Yota and Honda of America are granny driven engines
.
Just kidding.
I would like to know....
1) How many HP/Liter would have avarage American car from that list ( we can start with Chervolet Spark
)
2) How many liters/quarts of oil goes in avarage American oil pan? Here in EU around 3-7 liters....depends on how big engine is (its displacement)
3) Do American car sellers (BMW AUDI....) use ACEA certified oils or Murricans substitutes....?
4) Do you even know LL intervals there ( OCI on 30-50.000kms)?
