Re: Oil Consumption 2000 JGC V-8
 

I have not detected any leaks, or had compression testing. I will pay more
attention to the items mentioned, including the possibility of restricted
CCV system.

I use 5W-30 weight oil.

My best guess is that it is burning the oil, but I can't be certain.

Thanks to all for the replies.

The 5w30 is a little thin for the mileage on that engine. Putting in 10w30
should help.

Carl , maybe I will try to switch to 10W-30 and see if that makes a
difference.

Thanks !!

Let us know how muc (if any) improvement there is. I have a few more
ideas that will help if just 10-30 doesnt.
