Varied Amount of Oil Usage
07/01/15 at 14:45:32

Gents:

On occasion the S40 seems to really to use more oil than other days. Case in point, I road 50 miles down the interstate to the next town and had to put in 1/3 quart to even it off. A week later I rode a little over 200 miles on the interstate with almost no oil usage. No kidding, if I weren't the one putting oil in it I probably wouldn't believe it.

Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone have any thoughts?

Best regards,

I don't make the rules, I just know what they are.....

I've never heard of oil use like that. Have you noticed any oil residue anywhere?
