I'm reading a thread and the gist is how much better engines are today because of the tighter tolerances engines are built to. Then I go to a thread where some of you say it's nothing to worry about when an new engine uses a couple quarts of oil between changes. This makes no sense to me.
I've only owned two vehicles that used oil but they were farm trucks that had the life beaten out of them by the time I got them. A 67 chevy and a 69 GMC both 1/2 tons one with a 283 and one with a 250 six. All the other vehicles I've owned have not used oil to where I had to add between changes. I've also never owned anything newer than my 99 Buick.
What am I missing here guys?
