Using less oil on hot days...Bizarre?
My wife and I regularly make a 600+ mile round-trip in our 300TD to visit her mother. Sometimes I have to add a whole quart of oil for the return trip, and sometimes I don't. It seems like this oil consumption goes down on hot summer days. Last week my wife made the trip and the dipstick showed the sump was still a 1/4 of the way above the "add" mark when she got back.
Is it possible the car could be using LESS oil in hot weather? This seems to defy logic. But I like it.
