2001 Oil Usage

By ozarkbill, May 10, 2013



I have a 2001 and it has 103000 on it. It never uses any oil and I have always used Valvolene regular 5-30. I change at 5000 miles. Except for a valve tick in the winter when the cold engine is started, no other engine problems. When I check the oil is clean, a clear amber color and reads full. I use the regular filter. As the milege gets up there should I use a long mileage oil or a bigger filter? I have seen no sign of leaks or oil burning.

Sounds like it is running well with what you have. I see no reason to change what you are doing, stich with what you've done so far and you should be good to go.
