How Many of us burn OIL?

[hatchitup]

Just a little poll to see how many of us are burning oil! I know i'am about 2 litres a weekend but that cause i'm driving 1000kms a weekend!

I burn very little... and only over 80+mph...

i have a "slight sweat" on the underside of my oil pan. its not dripping, its just barely barely leaking i think whenever i really hit it hard.

I burn 1 qt. at about 1000 miles. Usually do about 65 with it. That's at 192,000 on stock engine that was really beat up by the last owner. Think that's bad? When I was driving my MR2 home, I used up 2+ qts of oil in 600 miles. As soon as I got home I started ripping the engine out for a rebuild.

That reminds me... I was going to do the oil pan gasket but it really seemed unnecessary (if I never even messed with it I probably woudn't have broke that header bolt... however, removing the 02 sensor and reinserting has gotten it to work more efficiently)... not even a sweat, more like corrosion or something... weird.

dont burn a thing, woohoo!! i love new motors

my civic only burns oil above 3k-4k rpm - i'm loving my accord i can floor it and not leave an oil cloud behind me!

all i burn is fuel. i rebuild all my engines.

I burn around 1/2 qt to 1 qt per 1000miles. This on 204K original miles. I would say it happens a lot more often when I get on the gas hard (everytime I drive).

I have to agree with 91civichatch2571, i also have a recent rebuild and run royal purple and see no burning what such ever. But my old dx was hell on oil! but then again my lead foot was hell on that 212k motor.

Honda: No
Mazda: Yes

I would do something if my Civic burned oil, but I could care less about my beater. Maybe half a liter between oil changes.

all engines burn SOME oil...it just depends on how much and if you can meaure it as a quart a month.

[Twyztidmind]

Nissan - No never had to add any
Honda - Yep, the stock d15 uses a quart a week!

But that motor is gone now and my B18 is going in this week!

well my dad went about ~6k miles before losing a quart(found out during oil change); 96 Toyota T100, my moms van rarely loses oil(probally just a few fl. oz in ~3000miles; 93 Nissan Quest GXE), and my CRX DX burns about half a quart in about 1500 miles(has just over 230k miles)

I go through a quart every 1000-1500 miles depending on how hard i drive in that time. But workin on rebuilding my spare ZC.
