you guys are pretty passionate about
oil consumption......
To get back to D111 question, I think it is dependant on too many variables to suggest a one size fits all answer. Driving conditions, engines parts and assembly, type and weight of
oil, etc. As long as there are no puddles of
oil under the car and no plugs show visible signs of oil consumption in any cylinder, I would go with it. If I was burning 1qt, 1/2 qt or some other amount in any given mile range and I had a spark plug suggesting I had an oil conrol problem in that cylinder, the consumption would be abnormal and I would fix.
I have built and run huge strokers and high winding small blocks and every engine has been different.
If I have a great running engine that shows the same oil usage over a number of miles, it is what it is. If all of a sudden an engine starts using oil that historically did not, gonna find the problem.
