Oil question

[smigle]

I burned a quart of mobil 1 10w30 synthetic oil in 800 miles. Any ideas to what the problem could be?

are you running synthetic entirely (or a homemade mix)? first time doing so?

low tension rings and a motor with some blow-by from some niles can allow it to burn.

good luck.

when i posted about oil consumption on my 94, it was suggested the the valve seals could be bad? I was going to install new AFR's and they thought it would take care of the oil issue.
Just was I remember hearing...

Check to make sure you aren't leaking anyway. I'd suspect a leak somewhere.

I have been having this problem for about a year now. I have used synthetic since i have owned the car, there are no leaks, did a compression test all cylinders 150-155, no blue smoke comes out of tail pipes, checked pcv valve and vacum lines, No sign of coolant mixed in the oil. I know this is long but im venting I cant figure out why it started to burn so much oil. What is really weird is I checked my oil 2 weeks ago when the oil was just changed and had 500 miles on it I had only gone through 1/4 of a quart on the dipstick. But yesterday i had gone 800 miles and a whole quart was missing on the dipstick. I changed the oil yesterday and put regular mobil 10w40, the car only has 70000 miles on it and these miles are about 70% highgway. Any help will be appreciated
