Hey Guys, Just wondering how much oil your 3rd gens use?
My Stock 94 touring is going through about a quart every 2k.
Is this normal?

That's sounds average for most FD's oil consumption.

For me, I only had to add oil once during the last 1.5 yrs I've owned my FD. My FD doesn't drink oil enough for me to add any btwn 3k oil changes. That seems to be an exception though.

 

hmm, that MIGHT be SLIGHTLY high, but i doubt it's anything
to be worried about.

Do you do alot of hard driving(that foot doesnt leave the floor
often does it?, hehe). If so that could be part of it.

I think the harder you drive the car, the more oil it will burn.

 

Mine eats a little less than a quart every time i change the oil. It gets changed every 1500 and is fed Castrol GTX 20-50. The car gets driven pretty hard and has to deal with Los Angeles stop and go, so I think it's normal. Once I get my beater I'll compare the oil consumption.

The car naturally burns oil so it shouldnt be anything to worry about. If you're really concerned, examine your turbos for leaks, or check for oil in the coolant. From what I understand, some oil in the intake and intercooler piping is normal
