re:'90 90Q20V oil consumption

Dan Cooke asked:
Does anyone else's 20V engines consume around a quart of oil every
1500 miles or thereabouts?  Changing the oil last night, I also noticed
spent oil around the bottom of the oil pan near the oil plug.  These plugs
are the larger ones (not like the 4KQ's).  Is there suppose to be a seal
or washer on the plug (mine doesn't have any)?


Mine is about 2.5k miles/quart.  But it can go up to around
1.5k miles/quart with lots of high-speed highway driving.  And yes,
you do need a copper washer for the drain plug.
