I find that I burn about a quart for 2k miles, only if I drive it hard. If I drive it a little less hard (not too many launches while DDing) it doesn't burn any. How hard do you guys (oil burners) drive?

1/3 qt every 3K and I get on it time to time from a roll and tach it out to 5500-5800 maybe 2 times a week or so. Basically I have fun with the car but I don't beat on it.

i ran mine a ct and half low for a week not to long ago, i tryed to take it as easy as possible to the auto store and then a cobra tryed passing me.. well obviously i couldnt let that happen so i ripped it next to him and pulled a good bit and when i was done i was so pissed at myself knowing the pain and suffering i was putting her through on low oil lol

the closest to that is "check oil level" or whatever.

or the cheap way "add water to oil to raise level"

I burn through a quart every 4-5k

I do believe thats an old school way of picking up like 5hp.

Always a good idea to check often. I found rust on my dipstick the other week. Turned out i had water in my oil, a blown head gasket on a NA motor with less than 7k miles on it.

Considering our LS1's crank wont get near that oil in the sump with anything less than 7qts in the pan I think that is null and void here.

im lost at this "picking up hp/run it low on oil"?....we run 6 qrts for a reason...throwing another qrt in it isnt a good idea...or running it on 5..41/2 qrts isnt good either

For some reason i dont completely understand if your counterweights on your crank spin threw oil it is a parasitic drag on the rotating assembly. IF you go a lil skip on the oil like half to a qt. low to cut down drag you free up a few ponies. Basicly does the same thing as a windage tray except i dont recommend it. Hell it may not work with LSx engines i wouldnt do it.

ls engines have a widget on them so i dont think that the 1/2 gt low works, but it dose work for the oil leak in my f-250 lol.
