I'll go right to the question.
09 V6.
When I check the oil:
- Right after I turn the engine off. Within 1-2 mins. The oil dip stick is at almost 1/2 mark
- Wait about 5-10 mins. The oil dip stick is at 80% full.
- Wait 3 hrs, the oil dip stick is at 100% full.
I'm asking this because of the ever present oil consumption issues we all read and heard. When the engine was OEM new, it drank oil. Then it sort of stopped. Add less than 1/2 qt per oil change interval.
Now the car has 65K miles, I suspect I may or may not have an oil consumption issue again.
Any of you guys notice this? What should be my constant when I check my oil?
