Re: fully synthetic oil prices - Tony Cooper

GM must have made some really advanced technogology design changes to make these engines comsume so much oil. A bit reminiscent of the Ford Lotus Cortinas that could really drink the stuff - 200 miles to a pint!

I have a 150,000 mile Carlton that needs no oil between its 5000 to 6000 mile oil changes.

Do these engines consume so much oil because of larger clearances in the interest of increasing power?
