Burning Oil- How much is too much? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be rich on  Mon Jan 17 06:36 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a 1996 850 with 210,000 miles and it started burning oil in the last 10,000 miles. A switch to "high-mileage" oil (Quaker State, if I remember correctly) noticably slowed the oil loss -- much to my surprise. Before that it "never burned a drop" and I did nothing special, just regular maintenance.
