Question for the guys who stated their car doesn't burn any oil, how do you know? Do you actually measure what you take out?
** It's difficult in cars that spend a lot of their driving, around suburbs, to actually know how much oil they're burning. This is because of water-vapor and unburnt fuel settling in the oil-pan. In such cars, that have spent considerabley time on suburban roads,.. if they are taken for a 100 mile cruise on a highway at 60 mph, oil-contanaments boil-off causing the oil-level to apparently drop. In fact the level on the stick after the higher speed cruise, is the real oil-level.
Ive never measured oil output but yy eagle eye best guest says I burn some, probably maybe half a quart, every 5K using Ford MotorCraft 5-20 semi-synthetic.
Oh, I recently noticed oil stain near my valve cover gasket. Look like I may need to keep any eye out and possibly replace the VC gasket. Miata all over again!
