Piston rings get dirty and dont seal properly cuz the dirt and stuff keep them from properly comforming to the cylinder wall. 1/2 qt at 5K is good actually.

my car burned about a quart every 3000 miles up untill 40,000, then I did the PCV mod and by 60,000 it stopped burning oil all together

Is there a Write up of this somewhere? also would it be a good idea to do seafoam any insight on that product sorry in typing for shiv Since in using my phone

I launch between 3k and 4500 pending track conditions, I shift at 7100 when my shift light flashes. ahhh M6

even after 110,xxx miles, no carbon build up, no sludge, no blow-by just clean perfect running engine.

Used since day one.
Wix filter
Mobile 1 syn

Even the c6r engines that Katech builds, burn oil. Oil burning during combustion is just a part of internal combustion, all engines do it. Its just a matter of how much oil is burning.

If some oil did not burn, then I would worry that rings are not gapped and heads are not receiving oil. Some oil always gets in the CC...

I agree....and I shouldnt say I dont burn a drop...of course we all use some oil in the IC motor....but "quart or quarts" every 3K is bullshit....I may use a 1/5 of a quart or oz's between OCI's....

So its costing you about $9 bucks every 3K for oil being burnt. Aint good for your top end either....I bet your intake/TB is oily as hell......none of it good. I doubt any of this is about your valves....so here we go.....
Go get 1 bottle of this stuff from this web site. http://www.auto-rx.com/pages/heavy_oil_burning.html

Use Castrol GTX or Pennzoil Yellow Bottle dino oil and a NAPA or a AC Delco filter.
Run the Auto RX cleaning and rinse phase as instructed.

After the rinse phase....drop in Pennzoil Platinum 10-30 and a NAPA Gold filter.

Alright Sarge, have you used this stuff? What have you used it on? What have you witnessed this stuff do and exactly, what is Auto RX?

I have alot of experiance with it and know the patent holder personally. It works with no solvents so there is no damage to seals or anything. I dont care for solvents. Witnessed>... on every car I owned in the past few years and damn near every car within a hundred miles of here that I know use it now. This stuff really works and is not snake oil at all. I sent a free bottle to Stanger like 7-8 weeks ago....ask him...

Might be time for new rings.

**B34M3R** · 10-22-2007, 06:02 PM

My 3.4 with 80k only loses about a quart... maybe a little less...

However... my girls brandass new GTI (2.0T direct injection) goes through 1-2 and oil change... WTF?!? This is normal according to VW, and they blame it on the DI... I think thats some bullshit... I'm afraid of whats gonna happen to that motor when its out of warrentee

**cam02ss** · 11-05-2007, 01:36 PM

My 408 burns some because of the ring gap- 26 or 28. Needed to leave some room for expansion on account of the giggle juice.

**NE98LS1** · 11-05-2007, 04:58 PM

my car doesn't use hardly any at all and i'm right at 70k

my mitsu 3000gt was using right at a quart per oil change and they said it was normal. didn't like that idea, so i traded her in for the TA, best choice i ever made!
