LSJ Normal Oil Usage?
Hi Guys,
I just took my 06 SS/SC on a trip across the country. 3.5 K miles in total. When I checked my oil upon return, i noticed the oil level was down a bit on the stick, but above the minimum level. I did not change the oil, so I do not know for certain if it was within range in the first place. Do these engines use a oil in general? I do not smell oil burning, See blue smoke, or have any leaks. Engine feels strong. Last pass on a quarter mile was a 13.77 with a few entry level mods.
Thanks!

it is very common for a motor to consume oil over a couple thousand miles. if it burns around a quart that would be normal in the eyes of most mechanics between oil changes. so unless you smell it or see it going some where i wouldnt worry about it unless it started to consume an ungodly amount between oil changes. hope this helps.
