What? a quart per 1000??? I have a 68 Ford truck with an FE 390 that uses about that... 'cause its been road hard and put away wet. For a new car however that is entirely unacceptable. I've put 175,000 on my tacoma with Mobile1, which gets changed no sooner than every 10k and it doesn't lose any detectable amount.
