how many oil should a forged engine consume???

 

mine burns alot 1 bottle 1 1/2 a week but I drive hard.

 

i dont drive mine too much but its about 1 qt every 1000 to 1500 miles i think.

 

anyone else??
Will be good more opinions!

 

I just noticed after my last build using the Forged Wiseco 1400 HD pistons with forged Howard rods mine has started consuming oil rather quickly. I see 0 smoke, even had someone else drive my car and stood as they went WOT and I don't see even a puff. My evo must just be thirsty so I'm swapping to a heavier weight oil to see how it does. I'm going 1 quart per 1000 miles right now.

 

First paragraph.

 

So they knew ahead of time...que interesante

 

need more opinions!

 

Being at the track about ten times revving at 9000rpm in the first 1000 miles after the tune oil change the car consumed probably around 0.3 qt oil but we found a small oil leak from the mivec feed line because I still have the rubber gasket. I think my consumption would be even less...

If this is my average oil consumption I am looking at 1 qt every 3000 miles as an estimate.
I am using valvoline vr1 but I want to try brad Penn too.

 

thats nothing in comparation to mine consume!!}
why im consuming so much oil?
i got new valve retainers , my compression is 180 , 175 , 180 , 180 my guides are almost new !??
What can it be??

 

Anybody think this mysterious oil could be leaving via the PCV system?

 

never thought about the pcv sytem!

Thanks THUB

 

could be through pcv system, get a catch can. Also what grade oil are you using?

 

i bet more gets pushed thru the breather than it actually burns. break in also seems to drastically affect oil consumption. break it in easy under little to no boost and they suck oil. break it in hard and they use less oil.

 

10/60 liqui moly!
