So my wife has a sentra 2.5l that consumes oil. When I removed the pre-cat with a straight manifold the pre-cat looked good. So if not think her consumption is from the pre-cat breaking down. She has always been good about 5-6k oci, but now I do it myself.
I think the issue with the oil consumption is her danty driving habits. I don't think she's ever given it some fuel heading down the highway. Is there a list on soak that actually works? I see many recommendations but maybe there is something more current?
Also in terms of oil, she's spec'd for 5-30. Could I use something a bit thicer maybe a 5-40? Would that possibly help consumption? I think I added a qt in 4000 ish miles? Her car has 109k on it. I didn't measure it exactly when I added the oil, it came from a jug. And she was still on the dipstick, just right below the last cross-hatch...
