Oil Consumption Thread

[san]

So, I just checked my records today. I topped up my oil last (the first top up since implementing the O2pilot mod) at 257,823 miles. I now have 258,513 miles and the oil level is just a smidge under full.

Normally my oil light would be on by now and I'd be a quart to a quart and a quarter (lol) low...

That is excellent news!
I really want to do it too but it's so freaking cold

Borrow a garage, phone a friend, or just pay the hour labor to have a shop do it.

That is great news! My oil level seems to be holding almost steady, but I have backed off of the revs a lot. Engine is idle hunting again (great, ugh), and the SES for the fuel level sensor came on, so I have been taking it easy on my girl. I am closing in on 123,000 miles now and will be doing much more "scientific" oil level readings once I hit 123k dead. At the moment its more like, check dipstick, if low add random amount of oil, drive some more. I bought 3 quarts of oil three weeks ago, and I just tapped into the last one already : / Not stellar but I log somewhere around 500 to 600 miles a week. Rough math , 500 miles a week X 3 weeks = 1,500 miles / 2 quarts oil used = 750 miles per quart of oil.

I am going to install the O2pilotmod this weekend, and next oil change I am going to switch to Liqui Moly. Need to determine if I should use 5w30 or 5w40

How many burritos or pulled pork sandwiches for you to do the mod on my 2x M54B30s? I don't know the exchange rate.

I dunno, I didn't do it. I paid my friend to do it. lol

It certainly doesn't seem hard so I wouldn't mind taking a crack at it. I watched him do it and wasn't phased by it.

Much disappoint.

Much disappoint.

Why, because replacing the CCV is such a colossal pain in the ass that I didn't want to bother?

I'm being a wimp. Thing is I like to work on my car only on the weekend as this is the only car I have and I can't go to work without it and I haven't been home the past few weekends. But I did get close to finishing it one day, I connected the pipe to the back of the manifold and when I tried to connect the other end to the oil separator, I realized that the oil separator is covered with an insulation so I couldn't connect the pipe. I didn't have the time that day to remove everything else and remove the insulator so I put everything back

lol. And I don't blame BP for not wanting to do CCV. #trunkmonkeywanted
