Re: Oil Consumption 2000 JGC V-8
Ya know... I just looked at the spec sheets and Delo 400, Delvac 1300, and
the old formula Rotella T are only rated as an (automotive rating) SJ
usable up to 2001 vehicles.
Only Shell's new Rotella T Triple Protection (released July 1st) meets the
current automotive (SM) standard in 10w-30 and 15w-40 grades.

This is odd.. I just returned from a 2500 mile trip. I have a 2003 Overland
and noticed the exact same problem. I also have used Mobil One since new
and never used any oil until this trip. I did change the oil filter I use
to a Napa Gold from a Fram TuffGuard but everything else is the same. I
have 110K on my engine. Some people (in the far past) used to claim that
Mobile One would evaporate. Have they changed the formulation again and
possibly causing a problem. Sounds silly but I'm curious because of all the
new types they are selling as extended oils.
