Thread 'Slowly improving oil consumption'

Sep 24, 2024

- 2003 Hyundai Tiburon
- 2.0L 4-cylinder
- 260,000 miles (owned the last 100k; first owner neglected tf outta it)
- (used to run Mobil1 HM, now 5w40 EuroForm)

Last oil change was at 258,000 on the dot. I've been keeping an eye on the dipstick obviously and to my pleasant surprise this is what we see.
Car used to burn 1qt/1,000...then 1qt/1500...then (as of my post here on Aug 24, 2023) 1qt/1900.

We're at 2,000 miles now.

NOW: car has gone 2,650mi before needing to top off. Only been using Mobil1 5w40 EuroForm for the past 5-6 OCI or so.

Good results. A quart in 2k is not bad for the mileage. Hope it keeps improving.

Normal consumption. Just think how well lubricated the rings and cylinder walls are!

Some engines are just like that. My daughter's '04 Subaru has always burned 1 qt every 3000 miles ever since it was new. With mileage today around 120k, it still does - no more, no less. It's never had anything but regular cheap 5w30 or 10w30 oil, no additives. Still runs like a champ.

Good work, and stay vigilant on the oil level

Well now it's a quart every 2.6k
Hoping to reach 1qt/3k or no noticeable consumption at all.

I couldn't quite tell. You're still on Restore and Protect or you've moved back to another oil? Glad you've had success with this!

Well now it is lol.
But I've never used Restore/Protect. Still getting through my 9 free cases of EuroForm that I got sent

Is calling it Euro Form inaccurate? It's an abbreviation.

Technically, no. Just confusing to those who've referred to it by one name for years. i, for instance, had no darn clue what you were talking about about, nor did the other commenter.

It's pretty vague sounding.

Seriously? So we're all supposed to just start making stuff up now and expect everybody else to properly assume the meaning? I've been on this forum for 10+ years and never once had I seen "EuroForm" used in a sentence before.

Literally how language works. Sorry not sorry. People make new words, new acronyms, new abbreviations all the time for everything — have so for centuries.

Just because you've ever heard it doesn't mean it's not used.

all guesses on where the oil jugs came from....
My HPL is IllinoisForm.
My Amsoil is WisconsinForm
