daytonboi Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 My car goes through about 2 or 3 quarts every couple weeks. I think its burning most of it and dumping the rest in the gravel drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spilly Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I burn a half quart ever 1,500 miles. No leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The 96 Lumina LQ1 burns and leaks none, and never has not even from any infamous locations on the DOHC. The Z34 was on an oil chart since new and needs one quart every 3,500km. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumineer Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 As far as I can tell, my car isn't burning any oil, although it MAY leak a tiny bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is located directly under your throttle body right near where the lower intake manifold mates to the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
