[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15746077, member: 188865"] I don't buy it. I don't buy "performance engines burn oil" simply because there's little to no consistency with what anecdotal evidence is being presented from everyone. If everyone was saying "my car burns half a quart every 1000 miles like clockwork" and everyone else was in total agreement/confirmation, I'd say okay. But it's all over the map. And that tells me the engine specs/assembly is all over the map. Not good. Secondly, no one, (which is shocking to me) has been able to tell us why the engines are losing oil. Is it oil that's working through the rings into the heads and being burned out? Is it simply oil that's making it's way through the IAC and into the intake and being burned out? I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it's not bad seals or gaskets and people are physically leaking oil. In summary, it's alarming simply because it's not consistent with every engine. If it was all the same it would be a hole lot less concerning. [/QUOTE]
