RE: Valve/Rings/Synth/etc..



This oil thread is getting _deep_, so I'll add something simple!

It is not uncommon to loose a lot of oil with the I5 due to loose
cam cover retaining nuts and/or a bad cam cover gasket. Easy
to check and fix. Find and use one of the nice neoprene gaskets
not the cork ones. I think the cork ones are like a 30k mile
maintenance item and are typically ignored. This may apply to
other engines as well. YOMMV.
