Kurt,

Thanks for not taking my comments too presonally.

My '96 850 N/A Wagon burns about a quart every 300 miles, which is about a week's timeframe. This is because the valve guides/seals are destroyed. Come Spring ('cause I'm in Chicago), I'll be able to repair the problem. But until then, every Saturday morning, I check the oil in the car. It's always down a quart.

You will be in a similar situation.

If I were you, I would check your oil every weekend until you have an understanding as to how much oil your car is burning. You will probably be able to throttle-back on your checks to once every two week, or maybe even once a month.

But you are going to have to get into the discipline of doing this.

Best of luck.

Ken
