>tfw shitbox burns 1 quart of oil every 250-300 miles.
how fucked am I?
>>14764598
i drive a subaru that burns a sump of oil every two days
its fine, be on top of the oil and it will run forever. Unless its economical to fix it then fix it otherwise cuck out of it and buy another car
Put thicker oil in it brah
My 4.6 2v mustang has 200k on it, was burnin a quart every 500 with 5w20 so i put 10w30 in it. Made it pass smog and i get about 1500 miles now before i have to add. No knocking or anything when i start it.

I put 10w-30 instead of 5w-30. Didn't fix anything.
>>14764666
i use 20-50 in the subaru, sometimes 25-65 and its made no difference to oil burning its that bad, but you might be lucky and 20-50 fixes your problem
>>14764681
isn't that bad to run it that thick in the summer?
>>14764805
i use 20-50 in all my cars, and its made no discernible difference to me
yep....you're fucked. 1 qt of oil in 250 miles is bad. If you live in an emissions county, you will probably not pass the sniff test.

Sure your seals aren't leaking? Any puddles underneath your car after parking it?
I had the same issue but it was just an oil pan gasket.
Your piston rings are fried kid
>>14764908
no leaks m8

Hang in there OP, before making a hole and dying, there are some things you should consider b4:
-gaskets of any kind, from oil filter to head gasket
-PCV valves, which when bad they tend to cause heavy wear on rings product of positive pressure inside the carter. Purchase is dirt cheap but replacement can be a pain in the ass.
-Leaks from the oil radiator, from anywhere where the oil goes thru, so on and so forth.
And I'm falling short, so you deffinely check online for any solutions

god dammit
>>14764598
here is your solution OP
>>14765132
Is that stuff actually any good?
>tfw car could probably use a rebuild
>>14765132
lucas stuff is top notch yeah. unless it's a damaged seal and not just a worn one
Check your pcv valve
Spend big $$ on "high mileage synthetic blend"
>>14765160
yeah. my engine idles smoother and quite compared to before. my dad uses it on his car because he drives taxi. it helps against the engine burning oil.
