SWL Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 All cars burn oil, its normal. If it burns too much oil rings or valve seals are probably worn.It's been like this since new.

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Every manufacturer has a different specification on how much oil their engines can safely use without considering it to be excessive, normally at GM we had customers stop in bi weekly to determine how much oil the engine was using and go from there.

Correct. If the filter plugs, the pressure rises and the bypass opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They change the oil, seal or mark everything to prevent tampering then check your oil level every 500 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 2 hours ago, SWL said: I've switched back to regular oil and I'm going to monitor things. My car is a 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT. Synthetic oil change intervals are every 7,500 miles. By the time I get to 3,000 miles it needs a quart of oil. By the time I get to 7,500 miles it has needed typically 3 quarts of oil. I looked into this and found that it is common for foreign cars to use this much oil. Really? All my Chevys never used oil but then again I never went over 3,000 miles in between oil changes. This is the first I've heard that synthetic oil improves mpg. Like others said I change the semi-syn at 4k anyways. My motor, I want it clean inside! Wow! That's a lot of oil disappearing from the motor, only changed the oil in Toyotas and Hondas for foreign cars but even ragged out never anything like that unless it needed a rebuild. Got a Warranty on that `16? Son of an accountant and a bookkeeper so after owning that 10mpg Charger for my first car I've always checked the gallons in to the odometer every now and then. When I did the change to syn on my chevy truck that had 50k on it I noticed an improvement in mileage right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
