Do you just add oil consumption to the sump capacity box?

2002 Honda Accord 2.3 w/M1 0w40 SN = 13,300/16 mo

With oil consumption added (+4 qts over 12,000 miles) = 18,300/22 months

I got 26mpg on one tank with an autocross lol. Obviously it was harder on the oil than the 26mpg would suggest.

You got 26 mpg in your V6 accord while doing autocross??? There must not have been much autocross in there.

In think in most cases, hard driving or racing should result in a significant MPG drop which TooSlick's formula would then account for.

I get 25 mpg in my car when I take it easy. With hard driving it'll be in mid teens.


2hr trip to a far away event (traffic was light at 5am)
2hr trip back
Refill.
I was expecting better MPG lol. Best ive ever gotten is 29.6mpg with about 85% highway at 75mph.

This has been a very interesting thread, thank you for all of the time and thought you have put into this. I thought it was hilarious that some people are asking for credentials, etc. I love it that you thought of this while drifting off in class. You will go on to do great things.

Let's see what you have for me.

2010 BMW 530i N52K - Mobil 1 0W-40

Driving conditions: Very high ambient temperature (Tropical Country), high humidity, mostly stop & go traffic (Probably 95-99%), AVG Speed driven in 1.2K kilometers is around 15KM/H to 20 KM/H.

The two cars in my sig (Honda has 2.0l engine that they all got).

Honda gets Honda OEM oil 5w-30 SN
Dodge gets Mobil 1 0w-20 SN

Interesting how much it changes from hard driving to normal. With my Buick, hard driving is averaged out to 5,700 miles or 7 months, and without hard driving its 9,900 miles 14 months without changing anything else.

What is the purpose of this?

Okay I'm curious: 2006 Honda Insight, Mobil 1 5w-20 versus 5w-30 versus 0w-40
