OIL LOSS LR4

[dlonesty]

I am experiencing a 1 quart oil loss over 8000 miles. My truck has 195000 and has had oil changes, maintenance every 8000 miles. Is this indicative of anything? Is it a problem? Is there a flush or a product to stop this or get at its cause?

That's not much. Do you have visible external leaks? I hope 8k is not your OCI interval. That is starting to push it.

While it isn't right, That is not much oil loss (burning).

Some manufacturers won't even consider diagnosing unless it's 1qt per 1k miles.

And to be honest, you should change your oil more than every 8k.

If it was me, I wouldn't do anything except maybe change the pcv valves.
