Sorry to tell you that your observation is not correct for the majority of the members on the forum. With the oil right at the full mark, the engine will consume it faster than if it's at the low mark. I never said that the consumption ceases. It simply is reduced. The fact that you've got 603.970 engine is a moot point. If it's common to the 603 series engines, it's going to manifest itself in that engine as well.

If I knew why the oil light never illuminated, even though you added 4 quarts of oil, then I wouldn't have asked the question.

If you added oil at the point where the light came on, and you added two quarts to bring it up to the full mark, and only added oil
once, then how do you get to the total of
four quarts?
Seems like your data is flawed or your math skills are weak.
