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.
