Burning oil...

hrmm, well i changed my oil early this morning and after i put my new filter in and 5 quarts of oil, i went to put the stuff in the pan back into the bottles and only filled up 3 1/2... now i bet another 1/2 quart was in the old filter, but where did the rest go?

i think it might have lost its viscosity didnt seem thick enough had bubles in it, but i probably went to far on it too, i think about 5000 miles on regular oil

didnt get around to it

You maybe the winner of a Intake Manifold Leak!

Notorious to many LT1 F-Bodys this leak will require you to reseal the Intake Manifold. Thank your technical EGR system which heats up the rear of the Manifold enough to break the seal and cause an oil leak.
