Title: Oil burn......
Post by raydawg on 03/28/14 at 16:19:56

I am about to clock 10,000 on my 2012. I have never topped off before between changes, of course I change more than the recommend 3000 interval. Yesterday I did add some, a pint maybe, which brought it to the top mark, as best as I can tell with this friggen lil' window kneeling down holding it up.....maneuver, and I am around the 3000 mark since my last change. Just curious as to what you guys burn in oil. I know driving conditions vary, and higher sustained speeds eat more crude.... just trying to get an idea is all. Thanks! ;D

Mine doesn't burn oil unless I do continuous interstate speeds of 60 or more. Also, it doesn't seem to burn up as much rotella; although, I haven't done as much real hard riding since I started putting it in.

Mines 37,000km and needs topping up every other tankful scratching in the hills or country riding. You can see smoke coming out the exhaust following behind. Not so much in town. I don't care. It's easier to top up than rebuild.

my '09 has 18,000 miles and only needs topping off after long sustained highway trips.. over 70mph (all day)
