Interesting reading through this thread. It seems these VQ's or either hit or miss when it comes to oil burning? Unfortunately I'm in the burning category. Mine used up to 1qt of PP 5W-30 in just a few hundred miles once! It normally slurps about 1qt every 1k miles with conventional oil.
I just switched to M1 High Mileage 10W-40. I'd planned on going the with my usual 5k miles OCI, but now after reading this thread I'm wondering if that's too long, even with synthetic, for these engines?
