With 12,000 miles on your last change and only needing to add a half quart! That would be good for a new car let alone one with over 200,000 miles. Nothing wrong with that motor! Heck sounds like both are in great shape. Not that it always matters if you use some oil my father had a Ford van with a 460 V8 that drank 2 quarts every oil change since new and it still drank 2 after 200,000 miles.smj999smj wrote:I had to delay the oil changes on my two R51's due to too much going on. Thankfully, I use synthetic! With 12,000 miles since the last oil change on my 205,000 mile, 2008, it was down about a half quart. My 170,000 mile 2006, which had 10,000 miles since it's last oil change, I had to add about 1.5 quarts over that time... However, the 2006 has a slight oil leak at the front crank seal and the top of the front timing cover, so, it most likely leaked the oil rather than burned it.
