HOW MANY MILES does it take to use exactly ONE QUART of oil?
Okay - on my truck, my last oil change was at 84,700 miles. 6 quarts filled it to about 1/3 of the way between the ADD and FULL lines. At 87,000 miles it was exactly on the ADD line. I added one quart, this filled it to the FULL line. I now have 93,500 miles on it and it's exactly on the ADD line. 93,500 - 87000 = 6500. I used ONE QUART in 6500 miles. Can you do the same math and tell me how many miles it takes you to use ONE QUART, please?
