you might also want to know what gear ratio people have and how hard they drive their cars.

 

2001, T56, 73K miles, so far (550 miles, 10-30 Syntec) NO USAGE.

 

I have a 2002 Trans Am M6. i use M1 5W30 and M1 Oil Filter. I have never added a quart to the car between oil changes. changed regularly at 3K like clock work. i also check the oil everytime i get gas to

NEVER EVER LOW. and i have LTs as well

 

O1, A4, 19,4xx, just checked the oil tonight before I went to a friends house and it was still on the full mark. The 1200 miles on the oil does include a 500 mile trip to the beach and back running 85-100 mph.

 

01 z28.. mobile1 5w30 changed every 2200-2700 miles and i have never had to add any in between....

 

i have a 99 and after a few posts i have put up i still dont know what kinda oil to run car has 85 k on it and i dont know wuts in it now?

 

Drive an 02 with 11K miles. Run Mobil 1 5W-30 and chaige it routinely. No usage.

 

arg, went 1200 miles so far on M1 10-30 EP and used 250ml of oil (1/4 qt). Most of this was road-trip. I will be switching to 0-30 GC in an attempt to quell this!

 

99 ss a4 burns about 3/4 of a quart every 3000

 

02 M6 55k burnes oil deff not a full qrt but it does burn some oil

 

'02 SS w/59k on the clock. It would use some when I ran M1 5/30, but now I go 5k between changes with GC 0/30 and a large Wix filter to run 6 quarts...NO CONSUMPTION.

 

Dude... I am the exact same kind of person! Very very picky, mr. perfectionist, and always paranoid! Which just makes it worse to own a car like we do.

 

i have an 01 with royal purple 5w 30 now and it never realy has burned oil i have done 2 oil changes since i have owned the car never had to add oil!

 

02 and I don't have to add any between changes

 

I have a 02 its never burned any oil.

 

My 2001 C5 burnt a freakin' quart TWICE over the same 800 mile trip. A full quart.

While my 2002 Z06 didn't burn any at all.

My 1999 stopped burning a half quart ever 5k after about 50k miles.

I can't find the article that shows how they changed the pistons in the 2002 LS6. They put these scrapper looking things to pull oil out so that it didn't burn as much.

 

So how did you do two oil changes if you didn't add any oil??

Did you just pull the oil out and put it back in???

Huck, huck, huck.... sorry I have been drink a lot of egg nog and Canadian Club whiskey...

I'll stop .

 

01 ls1 no oil burning

 

i have an 02 with 16000 on it. in the 4 oil changes its had ive been between 1/2 to 1 quart low on all of them. i blame the pcv and my driving habbits though. im always trowling around in a lower gear ready to jump on it and listening to the exhaust note. not to mention my shift light is set at 6000 and i always race, even if its by myself!!!

 

I have an 02 LS1 in my car if that counts... definately uses more than my 98 motor did, at least a qt every 3k. Still no piston slap though.
