from what I have read in the past two years most ITRs will burn a quart within the 3000 mile period before the oil change. The exception is the R that don't burn oil or less oil.

I have burned a quart of oil on most of my past cars with in the 3000 miles before the oil change and thats a wide range- 93 thunderbird SC, 94 Explorer, 97 G.cherokke, 85 RX7, 86 AE86 and many more...

Go figure :roll:
