How much oil do you lose when checking your oil over time?

Well shit did they have the same issues wondering where the oil went as well….

 

SLICK FIDDY CENT.

 

I had an AMC Pacer with a 258 inline six that was good for a qt every 1500/1800 miles

 

I heard a rumor from a good friend of mine who was a German VWAG Trained VW tech in the early 1960s and brought to Flagstaff, AZ to be the tech at the brand new VW dealership on Route 66 in 1967 (the same building I worked in for VW/Audi '95-'98). He told me that said that Hitler asked Porsche to build an engine that would burn no oil. Porsche said that he could and it would seize in 5 hours.
My friend's dad worked for Telefunken during WWII he was able to redesign the V2 to be 10% more fuel-efficient.

 

I heard a rumor that Karl Benz patented a 2 cylinder in the late 1800’s that burned oil at a high rate of loss….

 

Me too but it’s a boat with a 60hp Johnson on it

 

I had several AMC sixes, never had a real oil burner -- leaker on the other hand...

 

Theoretically you could wipe just about all your oil on to a cloth if you checked it enough, I reckon.

 

Oh I had some leakers

 

The owners manual for my ladies Q5 says that a half quart every 1000KM (600MI) is acceptable. Seems like cause for concern to me, but Audi says it’s normal.

 

That number will keep you out of the dealership until the warranty period ends

I'm so sorry.


...about the Pacer, that is...

I had one as a rental for about a month when my Cherokee was in getting body work...twice. I took out more mailboxes with that POS then one could imagine. So many, I started stamping the count on the door like an old fighter jock.

 

It’s been a good rig, but has needed oil a couple of times between services. But she’s not great with following the service schedule, so it would be unfair to fault the vehicle. Other than that, fewer issues, with more miles than her Acura MDX. It’s long out of warranty, and everything about it is expensive. I’ve been encouraging her to think about moving on to something new.

 

I am going to sell my virtual virginity bunghole on The Metaverse.

 

My Metaverse self bids 25 schmeckles.

 

wtf did I just read... its like a bot reading from random wiki articles about cars burning oil...

 

My snowmobile does that... It's called two stroke

 

Oil level in my taco stays the same between changes, im at 35k miles. I would not be happy if my engine started using oil, even a small amount.

It’s not normal for an engine to burn oil.
