Excessive Oil Consumption....I use 0W 20 Synthetic oil and recently had to add 2 qts after appx 1,200 miles.
Noticed it first when my oil light first came on maybe around 100,000 to 110,000 miles or so. I checked the dipstick for the very 1st time (bought the car brand new in 2013) and could not get any reading on the dipstick at
all. I thought maybe the dipstick was defective or was inserted wrong. Went to a gas station to purchase 1 qt of
Mobil 10W 20 and after adding the 1 qt, I barely have anything showing on the dipstick so bought another quart to finally get it to middle.
Ever since, I have been checking the dipstick on a regular basis and had already finished a case (6 qts) of Mobil 1 synthetic oil 0W20 just for fill up in between oil changes and I am now on my 2nd case (used 3 qts already) at current mileage of 134,800 (last oil change was 130350) I also added Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer (appx 1/2
of the 32 oz bottle). So in appx 4,400 miles or so, I added 3 qts already and appx 16 oz of Lucas Oil.
