Oil additives 96 gt
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on any kind of additives that might would help slow down oil consumption?

does you ride burn oil when you first start it up or when your driving along and you floor it orrrrrrrrr both?? How many miles on the clock?

steelhorse06@hotmail.com Oct 2, 2012 07:11 PM

Its got a 149k on it. It blows a little puff of white smoke on startup and when I start to back out. I dont really notice it any other time.

How drastic is the oil burn? In my experience with 4.6s they all tend to burn a little oil even when nothing is wrong. I remember my 97gt being slightly low on oil between oil changes since it was virtually new.

I'm gonna guess about a quart every two to two and half weeks.

My car burns/leaks about a quart a month I say burn cause well it does and it also chooses to slowly slowly slowly drip. I added some Lucas stop leak for oil treatment stuff and it greatly slowed it done

Also what oil are you using? I'm using full synthetic 5w30

I'm using part synthetic 5w30 castrol gtx

valve guide seals are bad if it puffs when you first start it up. no oil additives will help that as far as I know. Theres some stuff out there called restore that is suppose to help with scored cylinders. I have never used it but it might help you with as many miles as you have on your car.

if you have some time do a compression test some day

steelhorse06@hotmail.com Oct 3, 2012 03:30 PM

I'm gonna perform a compression test on it Sunday. Any ideas on what the readings should be?

Glenn Oct 3, 2012 05:09 PM

I think somewhere around 180 or so. The thing is that they are all very close to each other.

steelhorse06@hotmail.com Oct 4, 2012 06:31 PM

So basically if one is way off from the others, there could be a internal problem with that cylinder.
