Default Oil Consumption
I would like to hear if anyone else is seeing oil consumption between changes. I see about 1 quart every 5,000 miles.

Is this normal?

Default I did a consumption poll maybe 3 or 4 months back. Try searching oil consumption or my
handle 2.7twin. That might yeild some results. I use around a quart every 5K.

and tyeh oil is burning off as it hits the EX manifolds, or is caught in the belly pan

Yep, sounds about right. I'm using Castrol Syntec, 1 quart/5k miles.
