GeneralDisorder Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Keep putting oil in it for now, and plan on checking out the rings and/or valve stem seals with a leak-down test, etc. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Is it leaking or burning it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 are you 100% positive it's using oil and not leaking oil? if so then that's annoying. do you know how much per 1,000 miles it's using oil? replace the PCV valve and clean out the hoses below it to reduce crank case pressures. not likely to help but for $7 and 10 minutes it doesn't hurt considering the original is probably plugged.
