I'm about a quart low, almost, between oil changes. That doesn't seem too bad to me, but I'm wondering how others are fairing.

Mine is a 1994 with 150k miles.

 

97 Exploder limited 4.0 120,000 miles...........uses NO oil between changes, oil level never changes in 3,000miles.

 

97 4.L X, 1/2 qrt between change 355K.
92 4.L X, 1 qrt between change, 456k

both using 5W30 full synthetic, Mobile 1.

 

Are those original miles, without a rebuild? Holy smokes batman!

 

2000 Exploder 167,000 no oil between changes

 

205,000 miles; no oil between changes at 3,000 miles. Have run 5W-30 and 20W-50, Kendall, Quaker State, Citgo, Pennzoil, Valvoline, makes no real difference as far as I can tell. Just change it....

and when I say no oil, that means I don't add any between changes....she measures above the "add" mark on the dipstick every time.........

 

Family joke about reliability

 

'96 4.0 SOHC, 270,000 km, 10,000km oil changes using high quality mineral oil - uses no oil between changes.

 

93 explorer 170k added 1/2 quart between oil changes

 

This sounds pretty good considering my neighbors Cadillac with the Northstar V8 uses a Quart every 900 miles, and Cadillac says 1 quart every 500miles is acceptable!

 

That's sad! Our '01 has 126k and doesn't leak a drop of anything...well other than the water out of the a/c box. Though the transmission is starting to develop some issues related to shifting.

 

99 4.0 with 170,000 (never had any work done) 7500 mile oil changes (Mobile 1) uses NONE. Doesn't leak a drop of anything on the floor, either.
