Hello,
I have a '97 Volvo 850 with 260k miles on it.
My engine consumes 1qrt of oil every 2k miles. Because I have to add a qrt on a regular basis I haven't changed my oil for the past 50k miles. With every quart of oil I add, I add fresh oil and additives to keep the oil in shape.
I change my oil filter every 5k miles to keep the oil clean.
Car runs fine, have 23 mpg.
Based on this information, do you think I should still do a full oil change, or can I keep continuing what I'm doing.
I have had no issues at all.
Thanks,
