4.8 19,000 MILES.... NO OIL CONSUMPTION.... STANDARD OIL USED FOR FIRST 6K MILES... CHEVRON SYNTHETIC USED EVER SINCE
OIL COMES OUT JUST ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT WENT IT. MAYBE LOW POWER=LOW CONTAMINATION / OIL USAGE

Well, I did some reading and then went and pulled the intake tube off. There is a little oil in the J tube but, I've always had that on all 3 motors that have had a Radix on top. The actual intake tube was pristine clean. I pulled the PCV valve and didn't see anything unusual, it would spring back if I pushed on it. I don't know where to go from here. I guess I will keep checking the oil level at 1000 mile intervals and see....
