The Proton isn't using oil so the test will be done on the Amigo with the 3.2L

It's the one using a quart every 500 miles. I'm wondering if it's using so much because it's a 5 spd so much more engine braking??? thoughts.
I decided to stop procrastinating... tomorrow.
I would think the 3.2 would consume more oil because it's a 3.2. Really though there could be so many variables to the differences between the two individual motors. Maybe the 3.2 air filter wasn't changed as much, maybe the oil wasn't changed as much, maybe it was in a dirtier climate. The use of A/C or the Defrost applies engine braking as well sooo... allow me to if you were to FINALLY swap in an electric fan you would lessen the effect of engine braking as well as improve throttle response.
