Oil consumption??
I just turned 1100 (hard driving) miles, and I've been checking the oil level frequently. It hasn't moved!!! Is this right?
|
Mine didn't require any oil until 2,500 miles. You got a good one.
|
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. |
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.
|
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. |
Half a quart
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.
|
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.
|
Over 770 miles and not a single drop of oil has gone down....
