I've got a question!!! If it's been asked in this LONG thread, I apologize
Does this engine use a quart every 1000-1500 miles "right off the bat"? That is, you change the oil, the filter....and 1000-1500 later ..you have to add a quart.
..or...
Is there a fatigue issue here after a couple of thousand miles?? That is, no consumption for the first 2500 miles after a fresh change ..and THEN a quart every 1000-1500 miles?
Just curious
I just remeber that my Caravan (3.0 Misubishi) when I cared about consumption would have NO CONSUMPTION for the first 3000 miles regardless of what I used (either dino or Mobil 1). Then like clockwork ..the thing would routinely consume oil at about a quart per 1000 miles (+/-).
