For those who want to cut to the chase here's my question: What percentage of LC burns off between the 1000 mile add points?
Here's the more in depth version of the question:
I'm under the impression that some of the LC put into a car burns off/evaporates/whatever after its put in, and some of it does not and extends oil life/prevents oxidation, etc. Lets say that I have a car that's oil is exactly on the full mark. I add 5 oz of LC (1 oz per quart). Assume 0 oil consumption, that the only change on the dipstick would be from a change in amount of LC. 1000 miles later, how many ounces of LC would have burned off?
