Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | For the first 2 hours of running over 2000rpm the EMM will add extra oil. After that period of time it will be normal consumption.
I have a 3.3L block on my 200HO and I didn't use 2 gallons of oil in two weeks for about 150 gallons of gas on my last trip to Canada. Some big blocks can be set like mine to run XD100 oil only, which will reduce the oil needed even farther. If the motor is set to run TCW-3 it will use more oil.
Why not take it to his dealer and have them perform an oil usage test, where they accurately measure the oil being used. Then they will know if it is an abnormal amount like seem to think it is. |
