Burning Oil?

[Bernstein, Jeff (PSC-Akron)]

Eric,

You don't mention how long you have had your problem and you don't mention how much oil consumption you are having so I can't say if your problem is related to what Derek is experiencing.  If your problem is fairly recent and no noticeable oil consumption then I would suspect that you may have your oil level too high.  Having the oil level too high will give you the exact symptoms that you are describing.  This is common situation especially after changing the oil and is easily solved by draining some oil out of the engine.
