Excessive oil consumption 850

posted by  someone claiming to be David on  Sat Dec 6 06:48 CST 2008 [RELATED]

My 1993 GLT uses approximately a half quart of oil every 4 thousand miles. Done it since new and has never varied in fifteen years. No smoke or leaks. Low oil light comes on at half qt. down if I park on an incline. It's normal.

Are you waiting a good ten+ minutes to check the level. It takes a while to drain back to the sump. If you over-fill it can cause excessive consumption.
