Check oil light

shurb125 · June 2nd, 2008, 09:50 PM

How often do you have to add oil after an oil change or do you have to add between oil changes??? I just built the 306 700 miles ago.

HMUSN · June 2nd, 2008, 09:51 PM

it shouldn't be burning oil in the first place.

83fox · June 2nd, 2008, 10:07 PM

+1 a fresh motor like that shouldnt be using any. how long does it take to burn a half/whole quart of oil

dont try this because i hated my motor, but in the old 5.0 i let it run down 4 1/2 quarts of oil before id add any and it ran till the day i pulled it out. had 263,000 original miles on it!

Car has 120k and doesnt burn a drop.

shurb125 · June 3rd, 2008, 05:01 PM

So what do you guys think could cause this???

93hatch · June 3rd, 2008, 05:02 PM

leak?

vfast · June 3rd, 2008, 05:03 PM

not burn but a little blow by is possible

ryans88gt · June 3rd, 2008, 06:00 PM

maybe the rings didn't seat? Or you are loosing oil somewhere. Check coolant, and the ground where you park the car.

park your car on some pavement, or put a piece of cardboard under your engine over night after you finished driving it and see if it leaks externally.

shurb125 · June 5th, 2008, 11:53 AM

No leaking nowhere, nothing in the coolant.

My 1991 has been using a quart every 1500 miles with conventional oil and about every 1000 miles with synthetic since it was brand new up until I had about 145K. I have no idea how much now because I've only put 10K on it in the last 10 years and it gets changed by time now and not miles.

ryans88gt · June 5th, 2008, 02:26 PM

does it smoke at all, on start up, or under WOT. Have someone follow you to tell you, cause you can rarely see it from inside the car.

shurb125 · June 5th, 2008, 05:20 PM

I have seen it smoke out the exhaust. I was going down the road a stopped to get some beer came back out and started the car and it smoked for a second and then went away.

shurb125 · June 6th, 2008, 08:06 PM

Ryan, any ideas???

dr.gonzo! · June 6th, 2008, 08:38 PM

Mine only seems to burn oil when I stomp on it and run 3000-5000 rpms all the time
