Re: 5400 miles & using oil hey man i had the same prob.. i switched from a 5-30 synthetic to a 10-30 synthetic.. ever since i got headers, the car runs more rich so it consumed about a quart and a half in only 1000 miles.. use 6 qts also.. oil consumption is a known problem with our cars.. just go to a heavier weight and add 6 qts and see how that does
Re: 5400 miles & using oil 5w-30 Molbil 1. Not many above 3000. but I do nail it sometimes. No engine braking, just throws in nuetrel when stoping. Went to AZ. From LA. after 300mile put-put driving then put 3800 mile on the interstate and did use some but it seems to be getting worst.
