Anyone every heard of burning through roughly 3 quarts of oil in 5.67 months/5104 miles?
I know she's usually down .5-1 quart about every 7,500 miles, but THREE QUARTS!?!?! I drove about an hour at 80pmh yesterday and just before I turned the engine off, I saw the oil light flicker. I immediately checked the oil and couldn't even get the stick wet. After adding 2 quarts, I just got the tip to register oil. In fear of over-filling I drove it home and changed it so I could measure. I was down 3 quarts in all. [censored]!?!?
- It's not smoking (at all)
- It's not dripping
- All engine seals appear to be dry
- Fuel economy is the same as the day I bought it
