So then there is no issue

I don't think he was saying he changed his oil every 3,000 miles though....if you add a quart at 3,000 miles that means you have 20% new oil and that new oil is good for another 3,000 miles your probably good to 4,500 miles which by that time you can add another 1/2 quart of new oil so a change after 5,000 miles is probably what he needs.....:cool:

if anyone thinks I just took numbers from my head I actually worked on this theory for at least 5 minutes,,,

It still uses a quart
Not enough to contaminate the sensor but enough to be noticeable. Tbh as wollared put as it is I'm surprised it runs as well as it does.

Blowby for one. Ends up being a puddle of oil in the air cleaner. On long highway drives it will get Smokey.

Sounds like it would go through more than one quart in 3000 miles but if it's that bad with blow by then not much will be going through the exhaust

And this is why I would have done a proper rebuild to begin with! Instead you will keep coming up with this crazy sh#t. I think if you keep it broke you will get out of lining up with me.
