Changed oil after I found the oil level was low 5,000 KM after the last change. This truck is going to be driven off a cliff if it's burning oil.

City driving is going to be harder on it.... Even newer engines sometimes need a 1qt top up over the course of an oil change.

I'm driving it fast!!!


Shouldn't be driving and interwebbing at the same time :lol:

All engines use SOME oil. It varies depending on condition and mileage... but some oil has to be consumed to provide lube to the cylinder walls and rings. The oil level in my truck drops about 1/8" on the stick between 5000 mile changes.

Some engines use as much as a quart every 1000 miles. I've never had one that did.

That's what my Dad told me. He said his 96 used to use a quart between oil changes and that's all mine used so it may be normal.

That's about normal for a 350, my 4.3 Blazer was the same way.
