try a different oil if you guys are burning. i used mobil1 5w-30 (NOACK = 11-13%) my first few oil changes because i didnt know any better and burned so much oil. switched to pennzoil ultra (the old one, not the newer pureplus one) and immediately stopped burning oil. the reason for that i suspect is due to the low NOACK value of the old pennzoil ultra (NOACK = 6.4%)

the newer pennzoil ultra pureplus has a much higher NOACK of 11.5% so i cant comment. however, ive moved to the 10w-30 version which has a super low NOACK of 5.7%. no burning oil so far and i'll have a UOA done in a few months when i hit the 6k marker
