This poll is for evos that have completed their break in process. If you are still breaking it in, please do not vote as a little consumption is to be expected.


On a side note, has anyone here had their warranty voided for using conventional oil? If so, please share your story.

 

I'm breaking it in now with natural @ 650 miles on the clock. I'll let you know.

 

Hmm, this one could be slanted in which ever way....

My experience with high revving 4 cylinders, both NA and Turbo sees about 1/4-1/2 quart of synthetic being used every 1000-3000 miles - DEPENDING on how it's driven. Drive past 6K RPM often, do lots of 3rd gear 70MPH downshifts, use 4th gear a lot at 80MPH+, do a lot of twisty driving keeping the revs past 5K and you'll use oil. It gets burned and it gets thrown out the head....normal as far as I know.

Check your oil every two or three days, drive it hard (you're driving hard when you get a little over 90 miles to a half tank =), check it next morning.

I broke my engine like I always do (I do not pussyfoot), my engines always seem to dyno above normal and have excellent compression and leak down after 10's of thousands of miles (street only though) - always on a diet of synthetic.

 

I blew through one quart of mobile 1 int 900 miles. 240 of it on the track

 

dude... oil consumption is HIGHER during breakin

 

Who edited my title? Can you at least use proper spelling? Your making me look like an idiot.

 

i edited your post since "everybody inside" is very misleading and does not offer any insight to what the thread is about.

p.s

i am sorry about the spelling but i am working without sleep for the past 2 days

 

also, it is "you are" and not "your"

 

oddly enough my evo has gone from drinking 1/2 quart per 2k miles to eating nothing per 2k miles...Kinda weird to me, now with 13k miles on the car. I still drive the **** out of it, but now it doesnt eat anything...?

 

Anyone here actually runs conventional oil (on your evo)???

Mine has mild consumption... probably 1/4 quart for 2k miles...
it was like that during break-in as well....I am easy on the car,
it's my daily commuter...

I do see a lot of oil going to my oil catch can though... so I assume
some of that 1/4 quart goes b/c of blow-by...

 

You're right

Thanks for fixing the title. I know what a little sleep deprivation will do to ya

 

thanks bro

 

I broke my car in with Dino Oil. Now I'm on syn using Castrol RS 10-60 moving onto redline next oil change.

I never loose oil.

 

That means your rings have fully seated.

I'm curious, did you break in using sythetic? At approximately what mileage did you notice the reduced consumption?

 

Yes, heres my breakdown

-change at 500 miles Amsoil 10w30
-change at 1000 miles Amsoil 10w30
-change every 2000 since then Amsoil 10w30

Noticed no consumption after 10k miles
