I used the search button. I read about the service bulliten etc...

I want to know what guys with FI are seeing as far as oil use? I run Mobil 1. I had my oil changed 2000 miles ago. I did take a trip to ATL last month and ran about 80mph for 4-5 hours. Anyway, I was out screwing with my amp and the "Check Oil Level" message pops up. I was like Huh?
Sure enough, took 2 qts to get it back up.

2 qts in 2000 miles seems a little much. I'm thinking the oil change place shorted me a qt because I've heard them talking about how my Tahoe gets 1 more qt than a usual car/truck they do. So maybe I got 5 instead of 6 and really have only used one qt in 2000 miles.
So, again... I want to know what guys with FI are seeing as far as oil use?

P.S. No leaks, I checked....

i have almost 170,000 on mine, and the oil level stays the same.

depends on how hard you drive it and the conditions you drive in. during the summer here in texas (100+) with my abbusive driving i would lose just barely less than a quart every 3k.

I've had my Radix on for a few months now and my 5.3L hasn't consumed any oil (knock on wood)

I'll have to monitor more closely. I never checked the level after the oil change. I go to the same place and the 2 guys that run it are chevy gear heads so I don't think they would short me on purpose.

If I see a trend in oil use, I will post up. I know boosted engines use a litte more oil and some oil consumption is normal in any engine. 2 qts just seemed way out of line.

I run M1 too and have no measurable loss over 3000 miles.

Mr. Sandog

Put 40K miles on my Radixed AV with zero oil consumption.

i dunno what it is, but my engine will consume more oil than average if i change brands :dunno:

i lose about 1 qt every oil change
