If I go for a long drive (1,000+ miles), then I keep an eye on it. No consumption or concerns so far. Otherwise, I'm not worried since it's a new vehicle & I still have another 2 years worth of free dealer oil changes (every 3,000 miles). Yes, I check the stick before and after each service.Greybrick wrote:Hopefully there are more than three owners on the forum who are keeping an eye on their trucks oil consumption.
Thanks, I haven't heard of any others having oil usage issues with the VQ40's either but thought I'd put the poll up to see if there were some percentage of trucks with some usage.Fofiddy wrote:Almost 50k haven't burned a drop, longest I've let it go w/o an oil change is only 6k.
Don't burn oil and have put on 24000+KM. I change every 3000+KM at the dealership. I get 4 a year with the VIP plan I purchased at the dealership when I bought the SUV new.MARKSPATH wrote:Just turned 18K miles and I don't use a drop of oil between 5k-mile changes using Mobil-1.
The old oil looks very clean coming out, but I'm going to check it more closely next change since I've put in a K&N air filter -- if the oil looks dirtier than normal the K&N is coming out and I'll switch to an Amsoil or other synthetic media filter.
