Well Just because that 3.6 burns a little oil.. doesnt mean they all do..

They had an Oil Consumtion problems with the LS2 also.. Mainly on the cars with manual transmissions.. Could be improper breakin procedure didnt seat the rings.. Or a problem with the aluminum on that paticular engine where the oil just.. beleive it or not... Seeped through.

Besides 6500 miles on the same oil..

I run synthetic and every 3 to 4 k miles I change the OIL.. Not because the oil is worn out. but how long can you really trust the Oil FILTER.?
