This is old ground but I'd like to cover it again. At a rally last month,
a new member was talking about his high oil consumption, about a quart per
hundred miles. I asked him the usual question, "how much did you put in at
the last change?" His answer was, "6 qts as per the mechanic". I
reiterated the old explanation about only adding 5 qts after dumping the oil
and changing the filter. Since he was from Albuquerque, he had a few
hundred miles to drive before returning home and he said he'd let it go down
one quart, and closely watch the consumption after that. I got a post
from him shortly after he got home and he said that after that first quart,
he didn't seem to use any additional. Of course, you know this, right?
