Ah, that's a question. On this car it's low if driven hard, when it's left idling in the cold it goes through a LOT. However it's hard to quantify as it's got two significant oil leaks, one out the pan gasket in front and the other is where the breather tube exits out the left side of the pan (bad seal that my wrench is procrastinating wanting to do). IIRC from my old w126, this tube is a CA-emissions-only deal, runs from pan up to the bottom of the air cleaner assembly. > Try to find a rebuild-able set of newer ones if possible.

Yeah, from the sounds of them at least two need to be cleaned/rebuilt pretty bad actually. THX Mac
