I changed oil and engine bluffs now blue smoke.... Valve guides are old too i think but oil is main guilty i think.
Didnt smoke blue before.
Now consumption is about 1/2 quarts in 3200miles. Not worst but could be better? How about you?
10w40 semisyn castrol. Maybe but maxlife 10w40 next time. Hard to know what oil was engine before...

Re: 3800 oil consumption?
From my personal experience and information I've read, it's not unusual for an engine to use a quart of oil every 750 miles. That does depend on how the engine is driven, it's condition and the motor oil. - BCKarpov wrote:I changed oil and engine bluffs now blue smoke....

Try the MaxLife 10w40 with a bottle of that Lucas oil conditioner.
