I've put almost 6000 miles into my reman engine.
Every time I check the oil level it's full.
I always changed my oil around 2000 miles and I always get back around 4 and something quarts of oil back. Is this normal?

What's the oil consumption on everybody's cars?

 

25K on new engine - 1/8 qt every fillup.

 

ive got a reman engine too, about 2000mi. i followed the break-in 'rules' and changed it at 600 miles. It used 1/3 of a qt. then... Now, everytime i check my oil its full. But i can actually see teh oil flowing through teh metering lines so i dont think anything of it.

 

I followed the break in rules too. I see oil in the metering lines, but I don't know if they are flowing. I got so paranoid that I started to use premix in the engine to protect the seals.

 

1 quart every two weeks. I think I have an oil leak. But the engine has over 100k on it.

 

Thingol does your car smoke a lot? if so Yer burning oil and only way to fix it is rebuild =(

 

1 quart of oil every 1000 miles is what Mazda says is perfectly OK oil consumption. That's very generous, don't be surprised if you usually find it is a lot less than that.

The OMP will only inject oil into the chamber when the engine is under heavy load. How hard do you drive?

pd, if you're getting 4.x quarts of oil back and you put in 5 to begin with, you have nothing to worry about.

 

 

Well, I can see in the sunlight. like when i first started it there were some air bubles in the oil moving with it. Then when i changed it. I let it run for a while and teh old oil was darker (obviously) and eventually it changed to the new (lighter) oil color. Try that next oil change to be sure...

 

I get about 750-1000 miles a quart
that is with a nice oil leak comming from the cooler or the lines also

no smoke except on start up
