Beef,

I have about 5700 miles on mine with 5200 miles since my oil change and the car doesn't even show any oil consumption at all. The DIC says I've got 45% more life still available for whatever that is worth?

Vette(s): 1972 Corvette Roadster. Owned since new. Balanced, blueprinted 383 with Crane cam and Q-Jet. 25 coats of Candy Red paint and American 200S daisy mags. Also have a 2014 Z51 coupe: CRM with grey 3LT interior.
That's bad. I have over 14,000 on mine, and it has never used a drop of oil. Does there appear to be oil leaking or dripping anywhere? That would be a much more easily corrected problem than a ring problem.

Good luck!

Six months and 3,500 no extra use of oil.

Note; change my oil out at 1,000, no extra use of oil at that time.

When I had my C5 i had extra oil consumption at high rpm when i used engines under 4000 rpm no consumption. I own my C6 since 2 weeks and i don't know if it's the same thing for LS2

Almost 5000 not a drop used. Haven't changed oil yet. For all that it's worth the DIC shows that I still have 65% oil life yet. |bouncy|

I picked up my 2006 in Bowling Green and drove 4200 miles coming home to California. Did not use a drop of oil. Sounds like there may be a leak somewhere.
