So..I'm consistently at 1 qt of oil burned (not leaked at all) every 630 mile these days. Should I be concerned? Bob, I would like to know where it is going if I am using that much. Check the line from the vacuum pump to the intake. Oil leaks pumped from either the vacuum pump itself, or the shut off diaphragm on the FI pump, will end up going into the engine without being visible. You can put the line in a 2 litre soda bottle for a few days to watch this. >From add to full is about 2 quarts. Are you remembering to only use the lower half of this range. Filling to full will likely use the top quart more quickly. Slow down! I know that is a boring ride to the site but blowby is a function of engine load, as we discussed before.
