alright guys, i just changed my oil when i hit 90K miles yesterday, and when i was dispensing of the old oil, i noticed something.
Ive been using Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic since i bought the car at 46K miles, and i did my oil changes whenever i had time, meaning every 3000, if i was too busy, i had it done at an oil changing place, rather than myself doing it.
lately with college, i havent had the extra time to do it myself, so i took it to places, however yesterday it did it and that i noticed i poured 5.25 quarts of my old oil back into the bottles to dispose of.
That means over the course of 4K miles (86-90K), i consumed only 1/2 a quart of oil......is this normal at this point in time?
a while ago i remember dumping with 4.5-4.75 quarts but not 5.25!
i have no clue on what oil consumption can say about how well ur engine is running, thats why i wanted opinions from here....
thanks
