How much oil does your baby burn?
How much oil does your baby burn?
I better rephrase the question. How much oil does your evo burn? I was just bored and curious. I have 8,000 miles and add one quart every 3,750 (burns one between oil changes).

"For the first 600 miles, we treated the Evo like a cute baby lamb. That's because Mitsubishi tells us the break-in is a crucial time in an Evo's life. If you're kind for those first miles, you will be rewarded with quicker acceleration, and it will never burn oil, Mitsubishi claims."

Your car should not burn oil in regular day to day driving. I have 5500 miles on mine and have done two oil changes w/o any loss of oil.
I only burned oil during break in which I think is normal. But I've since been out of break in and have not burned oil since. I have done two oil changes since I bought the car. Currently have 5500 miles on the car. I changed at around 1500 because I noticed I was low on oil so I changed it. My second oil change I was still full to the top when I checked.
i burn 1quart of oil every 3000miles but if i push really hard my engine,but daily driving i mean normal driving no hitting redline i dont burn any oil at all and yes i did baby my car for the first 1250miles.

I too treated her like a baby during break-in. I notice that my oil never moves on the stick unless I have been in the trubo (lup a mountain run). I have never let it drop below the "fill" mark. I just always keep it near the top marker and noticed it is "drinking" about 1 between oil changes. I noticed in the manual it's stated using oil is normal, guess that's there way out.
I usually burn a little between oil changes (half a quart every 5000 miles). I may be wrong, but it seems as though more oil is burned when I spend more time in boost. I went one oil change interval driving like a 95 year-old grandmother when gas was $49 a gallon a ways back. I never went above 4K RPM. I used no oil. Lately, though, I use a little bit. But then I seem to be indulging in more spirited driving.
