Do you think manual trans vehicles have their rings broken in better due to the more significant engine braking or something along those lines.
My Dad and sister both have Dodge Neons, Dads being an 01 r/t 5 speed with 250k that will consume visibly no oil through a 10k oil run, sisters an 05 base model with 150k that takes about 1L per 5k driven.
Same goes for my truck with a 4.6L/manual, no oil loss in the 4k ive driven it. While my moms 02 f150/4.6L/auto uses also around 1L per 5k driven.
just a thought, Since these vehicles I believe to be common oil users. but maybe its just the upkeep of the owners.
