let me preface this question by saying i have upgraded the valve cover and am currently running a oil catch can. My lm7 is still consuming more or less a quart every 300 miles, seems to vary depending on how much idling I do.
For those who are in the same boat(Valdez) have you found that topping oil with a particular viscosity weight or brand helps your engine consume less oil. Because Im using oil I dont use synthetics like mobile 1 . Im usually buying pennzoil or similar but a high mileage label. I switched between 5w30 and 10w30 with no noticeable difference. Winters aren’t really that bad here in Texas so I have not even accounted for them when buying oil.
Heres the question:
What viscosity do you thing burns more or less than others?
If theres seems to be an overall consensus on this topic i would like to know but maybe theres real way to remedy except for fixing the cause of the oil consumption(there its been said).
