I just turned 1100 (hard driving) miles, and I've been checking the oil level frequently. It hasn't moved!!! Is this right?

View Full Version : Oil consumption?? RXg8tor 09-02-2003, 08:57 PM I just turned 1100 (hard driving) miles, and I've been checking the oil level frequently. It hasn't moved!!! Is this right? Puppy1 09-02-2003, 08:58 PM Mine didn't require any oil until 2,500 miles. You got a good one. Zoom49 09-02-2003, 09:35 PM At my 2,500 mile oil change mine was 1/4 below the full mark. Seems to not use use as much oil as my other rotarys. jd62 09-02-2003, 09:38 PM I have an early VIN, and believe I need a new oil pan with better baffling, so my oil level light comes on at high speeds if it's down by 1/2 quart or so. I put in a 1/2 quart at 1300 miles, and the other half at 2600 miles. jtimbck2 09-03-2003, 09:15 AM My dipstick was down about 1/3 of the way between the full and low marks at around 1000 miles, so I added half a quart. Unfortunately, I don't think it needed quite that much, because now it's over the full mark. I should have added less. My oil light has never come on. boowana 09-03-2003, 09:55 AM Mine used a half a quart at about 2000 miles. Apparently, if youdrive the car ahrd, more oil is used for the apex seals and is computer controlled. daedelgt 09-03-2003, 10:16 AM Makes sense that it uses less. Previous rotarys did not regulate the flow as much, and as a precaution, dumped more oil in than nescesary. RX8-TX 09-03-2003, 10:25 AM Over 770 miles and not a single drop of oil has gone down.... |
