What is your VX Oil Consumption in 1000 miles? Part Deux.

[lasturbo]

OK, emailed the bossman and stated to "do over" and I assume will delete the other thread. I have 1/4 Qt. increments now and everyone can vote now to see where the crew stands. I used all 20 available poll spots so if yours is not there, round up or round down. Thanks for the help Scott and to all who will participate!

Woo-Hoo...as of this moment two Larrys are neck & neck @ 33 1/tird%, with mile high vx in the outside lane closing on the lead...

[Techy-D]

I entered the 1/2 quart for my normal "every day" VX, but not sure yet about my new one. Do I get a 2nd Vote for it later???

(Just thought I could have some fun and throw another wrench into the voting system )

Wow, Larry... that's the biggest poll I've ever seen!



OK that's it - last poll comment - I'm done I promise!

moving on to Ldub's hoarfrost thread...

An electric locomotive still has an engine up front
I think there is a car show on tv called Motor Week

What about Ford Motor Company or General Motors Corporation?

[tom4bren]

And you think Ford & GM got it right because ... ???

[Leah]

I guesstimated 1/4 of a quart only because I know that by the time the 3000 mile mark rolls around, I'm down a quart. Where did it go? Is someone siphoning it out when I'm not looking??

[Sprey]

Id vote but theres no 97-98 , Im guessing thats cause Jdm v6s dont suffer from the oil?

[johnnyapollo]

Not enough numbers here for a real sampling, but so far it's quite interesting. The way people are always talking about it I thought pretty much all VXes use some oil - however the poll shows about 40% use none at all.

Only in subjective terms. EVERYONE who drives and internal combustion engine vehicle uses/burns/loses some oil. My VX just stays between the marks on the dipstick between oil changes so I voted for 'no oil consumption'.
