My freind and I both used it once and our cars both ended up buring like 4 times as much oil as ussual. (he used it in is 98 mustang and my 92 talon). I couln't believe it. And those two cars were probaly beat on correct?! I use this in my 92 buick and have used if for about 15k miles with great results. Then again I hardly beat on that car by any means. I think if an engine is consistently seeing higher RPM's and abuse there is more possibility for oil to get past the rings. Just my .02$ Also how many miles are on those cars?!

I just got about 4 cases of regular 10W40 for $3 each, but after putting in the 10W40 i get worse leaks. It's leaking all down the front passanger side of the engine and dripping off my A/C conpressor and oil pan...i have no idea where it is comig from, the valve cover appears to be good I drive kinda hard and apperantly when I'm cold it blows a little smoke out the back. i also have no IMRC so it runs rich when cold, so it could just be the fuel. It has 170,000 miles on the body and supposedly about 115,000 on the engine...at least thats what I'm told Last edited by TravisN1; 03/22/06 02:20 AM.

Just my .02$ Also how many miles are on those cars?! both are auto's so it wasn't like we were running them in the upper rpms range as much as you would think. My talon had around 140K on it when I ran it threw and my friends stang only had 60K on it....and it is a v6. and the talon was a N/T 95 SE MTX svt exhaust intake deer killer
