to burn 2 qts of oil over a 4500 mile period? I just got my car 3 months ago and it has 107000 miles on it now. I changed my oil today and relized I was 2 qts low I hope its ok! I put moble 1 10w30 in it with a moble 1 oil filter. I'm going to start toping it off once a wee from now on though. My bmw didnt burn any oil at all.

 

mobil 1 is known to burn oil on ap1s. try a different brand

Yes, this is normal. Peeludes similarly have this issue. Honda mech tells me the worst he's seen is 1qt/1K.

A thicker oil might help, but if you spend a lot of time in the higher rpms, you'll burn more.

 

My buddy ran his sti for close to a month at almost 3 qts low beating every mile out of it, im sure ull be fine.

 

I just recently burned through ~1.5qts of Mobil1 on a 3k mile road trip. Nothing unusual. Many have reported higher burn rates with Mobil1, try a different oil if it bothers you.

 

So I should be able to run any car 3 quarts low without any problems? That's great because it will save me money on my next oil change.

 

haha!

 

My AP1 burned a quart every 1000 miles since I got it new. I was always advised this is normal. The AP2 doesn't burn a drop.

 

yes, ap1's are indeed very good for the oil industry, we single handedly maintain the oil industries in saudi arabia, venezuela and kuwait.
