This Tiburon has 171k on it and has been ran low on oil a few times (at one point where the engine shut off). That was all years ago before my ownership, but the engine (2.7L Delta V6) does burn approximately 1qt every 1500mi yet the engine is still healthy driving wise.
Well, here's the peculiar thing...I did an oil change at 169,000mi (car is nearly at 171k) but the dipstick is still at 100%!? Nothing has changed, I use the same oil I've been running for years Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 10w40 and I've been driving it the same as well. The only thing that has changed was that the car had been sitting for about 2 months while the rear quarter panel was being replaced after a Kia Soul rear ended and spun me out on the highway going 70mph.
I do use Seafoam in the crankcase before every oil change and have been doing so for many many oil changes so I don't think that's the case. Any ideas?
