However bad this sounds, the car runs good. I'am trying to restore the best i can. I put new brakes,spark plugs and wires,distruber,oil change with filter,new gas filter, transmission filter and front end alignment.MY questions are, what can i do to stop useing so much oil every week. i have 180,000 on this car and i want to keep it. Any insight would be very helpful.....
When I bought my 1986 420sel it had about 180,000 miles and consumed a little less oil than yours, but still more than I thought it should. I tried RESTORE
in the engine and after that I haven't had to top up between oil changes.
Its in a metal can and costs about 10 bucks.
