What kind of oil consumption are you experiencing? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Zman · 08-24-2020

Normal driving is proper warm up and an hour or two of spirited driving to me. Living in rural farm country allows me many unsupervised miles.
I have experienced 400-1000 miles per quart on average over a few cars and 26,000 miles in the past 12 months. Anyone that doesn?t add oil is either fibbing a little or needs to hit 7000 rpm a few more times per hour. 90?s definitely use more than later years. I told a perspective buyer, who thought a quart per 1000 was a lot, that these cars were not for him. Nobody likes adding oil, but when you have no idea where it goes, who?s to argue the fun?
