hey i run pensoil 20/50 and burn alot of oil my question is because pensoil is wax based could this be the reason i am burning alot of oil?? because of the heat??

 

how much is a lot?? The rotary burns about 1 quart every 1k miles since it uses oil to lubricate the cumbustion chamber.

 

Penzoil used to be parafin based, but hasn't been for some time

 

Only if your seals are bad or there is some other type of leak. Normal consumption on a street car is about 1 qt per 3,000 miles.

 

well i rap it out all the time but i checked it after changing it about a month before that and i was 3 and a quarter quarts low, also my engine has about 110k miles on it and was not running for about a year. the preformance mods are an intake gutted cats and a cat back exhaust

 

The warning buzzer and indicator light should have come on at 2 quarts low.

Not gonna make it to 120K miles if you keep driving with it 3 quarts low.

 

well mine didnt go off

 

check for leaks. Look at the oil cooler hoses and oil cooler itselft. Something major has to be wrong with it.
