Patrick, that was a mind fart! I was doing three things at once and repeated what the Mercedes dealer had just told me about my 6.2 litre AMG engine. It uses Mobile 1 and goes through a quart every 1000 miles or so (has since new). I told him that made no sense and I couldn't understand a new car using that much oil. Anyway, what I meant to say was depends how ring gaps are set.
