I'm just trying to figure out that after driving the car for so long and checking the oil frequently, I don't smell a burning, nor do I see a SIGNIFICANT decrease on the dipstick, but I'm scared because I do see a SLIGHT decrease...should I try an oil change and a bottle of lucas stabilizer?
how much oil are you losing, and over how many miles?
I guess over the standard interval of maybe 3000 miles, I've seen the dipstick go from over full to just a little under full (about a fraction of an inch under) which concerns me because I just changed the pan on this car as well as the tranny. :s
That seems insignificant, and not out of the norm.
Your oil usage is excellent for a car with that many miles, I don't think you need to worry about it.
so basically don't worry about it? I mean I try and use Lucas whenever I can and going full synethtic 5w20 this weekend with a K&N filter
.
I've heard you look for bluish smoke coming out of the tail pipe. I hear that indicates buring oil.
