Guest Anonymous Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 I'm considering purchasing an LS1 motor with 5,600 miles on it. I'm told that a dealer pulled it because the customer was complaining that it used 1 quart of oil the first 3k miles, and 1/2 quart the next 3k. Is this normal for a new aluminum engine? I wouldn't think so. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisK Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 Unless something has drastically changed and I've not heard, 1 quart of oil the first 3000 miles is not of concern. Especially when the second 3000 uses 1/2 qt. it tells me its breaking in nicely. I believe they use synthetic fill from the factory, and break-in takes a little longer with syn. Tech services at Q.S. told me to use mineral based for break-in, and then switch to synthetic, so I would'nt worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
