The old head had alot wrong with it, so the lower end is now experience new-engine compression, and I think that is what's causing me to lose oil. Every 500 miles or so it's about a quart low. No drips, ever, can't see it burning or smell it, but I have been told that my exhaust has the slightest blue haze to it.

Sound like the rings are just worn out? This is a 210k mile engine.

I think I'm just gonna hold out another 6 months till I can do a rebuild. Has anyone had luck with some STP stuff or something to reduce oil consumption?

 

you might try some seafoam and see if you cant free up the rings a bit.

 

You just dump that in the oil and leave it till the regular change time?

Have you had good luck with it?

 

no dont dump it the oil now i think it makes it to thin

 

You can add to oil, put some in a vacuum line(brake booster line) and in your gas!

 

really?

 

Sure, it's modern day snake oil. You can even fix a flat by rubbing some of it into the bad tire... !



Just kidding... The folks that believe in it swear by it. Myself I haven't tried it but probably will eventually.
