I would agree with your SA's pitch, though oil consumption is all
over the map and from individual car to car...

I haven't kept meticulous records, but in my 3.0 '01, that 1 Qt per
~900 miles is about on for the first 40+K miles, though my consumption
has actually decreased to about 1 qt/1500 miles in the last 15K miles.


Great article, MrCleaner...thanks for that link. I BM'd it!
