What sort of levels of oil consumption do you guys have. I'm particularly interested in DiscoII comments.

'99 D2 and use less than 1qt every 3k miles. No oil on the driveway but always have the wet look under the engine with a few drops that look like they'll fall any minute but don't.

96 Disco I with 102k. I have synthetic oil and I go through about 1 quart every 4000 miles or so. I see a drop every few days or so in the driveway.

thanks for the responses. I put a half a quart in before a recent trip to ATL, then last week another half. so that would make my consumption about a quart every oil change. Seems high, especially compared to my last Toyota, but I was expecting that, what with the DII motor coming straight from the '66 Skylark! :D

My 01 D2 really does not consume any between changes. I pressure wash the undercarriage about every 2 weeks or so and I can usually see a faint wetness but never any drops before I wash.

You did say you were "particularly" interested in DII, not "only" DII responses.

14 responses, only 7 from DII owners...so much for reading comprehension!

:D

Hmmm lets see, unless you own a 2003 with a 4.6 it has the same motor just different electrics.

But as pointed out by snwbord24 and as per your first post
