All very true! I was told that the reason I didn't see oil on the ground is because it's losing it when it's under pressure in motion and the wind is blowing it towards the back of the vehicle..

 

That is total poppy **** if I ever heard it! If that's true then I'm going to get ovarian cancer because my Mum used Johnson's Baby Powder on my bum. If something is leaking it doesn't matter if it's in motion or sitting still, your going to see evidence where it shacks up at night.

 

Well then I guess I'm fresh out of ideas on where the oil is going.. It's not on the ground in the driveway..

 

Just start with the simple things, and then work your way up to the more expensive things if it is not the simple things, and report your findings

 

I've got a basket of ideas, no shortages on my side of the fence. I agree with Arch, one simple thing at a time until there's nothing simple left...... I believe you mentioned the spark plugs being very dark, huge clue if that's true. I checked your weather and remember how hot it can be. FishEh has used 20W50 weight motor oil with no complaints. That is a hot locale oil viscosity, you might want to try some.

 

Totally agree with ihscouts, and the best 20w50 to use that comes close to the ZDDP (zinc dialkyldithiophosphate) and HTHS (High Temperature High Shear) rating that we should have is Kendall GT-1 20w50.

ZDDP = 0.12 or 1200 ppm

HTHS = 4.9

I may be a bit biased as I used to represent ConocoPhillips in British Columbia, Canada

 

Will do!

 

Thanks so much, I will try it out!

 

Thanks! Will keep you all posted...
