2001 5.9 using oil ???? - what's acceptable?n8zdogg 12-19-2005, 12:42 PM I have a 2001 5.9 SLT with @73,000 miles on it. It has never been used to tow - has had oil changes every 3,000 miles (and all other maintenance at recommened intervals.) Its using about 1 quart of oil every 2,000 miles. Should I be concerned? neon_rt 12-20-2005, 11:58 AM Check the PCV valve and the intake manifold gasket. If the engine is actually burning the oil through the rings or valve guides, a guidline for overhaul is 1 quart to 1K miles. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
