165,000+ on an 01' 4x4QC 5.9 and it uses about a quart between oil changes. I don't believe it is burning it since the exhaust looks fairly clean an dry. I do have valve cover leaks so I believe it is seeping out there. I change my oil every 7000 so if I add a quart between oil changes it is not so bad.
ok i just wanted to ask this to reassure myself...
ok i checked my oil today, and its about a 1/4 in above the add mark...i need an oil change in 400 miles...but i wanted to know if its typical for these to burn oil?
i check my oil once a week, or once every other week, and i checked it about 900 miles ago and its was pretty much to the max line...
My plenum is obvously not leaking..i looked inside, and since my intake is ported and polished its easy to tell...well the inside is still pure silver...the hughes plate was actually shining when the light hit it...
Valve cover gaskets i replaced 5K ago...i retorqued on my last oil change 2600 miles ago...theres no wetnesss or any leaks here...
Oil pan is completely dry all the way around so thats not it.
Oil filter is dry all the way arond, so thats not it.
and the oil dipstick isnt leaking where it enters the block...
so is it typical for these to burn oil when your near due for an oil change?
i used Quaker full synthetic truck and SUV 10w30 with a mopar filter.
