guys... you cannot treat your car like you treat a women..
I am sorry but i cannot wait my engine to fully warm before i rev above XYZrpm.. it is like waiting your women to get over their period.. This is a car not a plane that requires a checklist before every action. Conclusion.! This car "consumes" way too much oil between regular services.!! What is the solution? |

I have been using factory oil too. I thought it might be benefit of living in a warm climate, but JMH lives in New Hampshire and also has equally low usage.

As far as other people having 'drive it like you stole it from day one', and other websites that advocate running the engine hard to break it in, they are simply wrong. If you talk to anyone who really understands engines, especially the ones who design high volume production engines designed to last hundreds of thousands of miles, they will all agree with my posted break-in rules. Oil analysis from break-in periods shows a very high amount of metallic particles in the oil. That's because the whole process of breaking in the engine involves wearing the mating surfaces as evenly as possible and avoiding any deep scoring of either surface. If you run the car hard before the oil has warmed up, you risk damaging these surfaces, compromising the fit between piston and cylinder, and burning oil. |

I wonder if changing the oil type will help. I'm assuming my car is running 5W-30. Hope I continue to have no oil burning with 0W-30.
BTW I suspect some of us are running 10W-60 since many dealers use the wrong oil at the 1200 mile service.

I am at 5,xxx miles and added 3 times (630, 1700, 2700) plus the 1,200 mile service.
I took her into the dealer at 3,500 miles as I was about to have to add another quart. FYI, I have a great relationship with my Service Advisor. Turns out I had a faulty seal in the oil filer cap, which resulted in a slight leak and improper venting! WTF! They refilled the oil and at my current mileage when I checked yesterday I am at 60% full; so it's getting better, but still burning. I did noticed a drop after an evening at the drag strip.

I'm hoping its just a seal as my car is one of the ones with the oil pump recall. But I don't see any leaking or see any smoke from the engine bay (from oil dropping onto the engine).

Somewhat, it still seems to using oil - 1,500 miles since the repair and 40% used.

I would get it looked at ASAP. If you can't spot an obvious leak, then that oil is being burnt by the engine, which has a number of bad side effects, including potential CAT destruction. |

Guys - unless you did your break-in over the Austrian and Swiss Alpine passes, you are going to have serious oil consumption. Key Takeaway - always do ED and always do Alpine break-in.
