Oil burn......
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! Grin

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.

Not so much in town. I don't care. It's easier to top up than rebuild.
