i was wonderin if anyone else has had problems w/ the stock engine in a st burrning oil after it hit 143,000 miles??

look around your motor for any leaks. just because its loosing oil, dosnt alwasy mean its burning it. could be just a rubber gasket thats cheap and easy to fix.

I have the same damn thing, no leaks anywhere on the engine but oil keeps dissapearing. The only thing I think it goes to is every mornting I start the car I get some white some coming out.

normal with that mileage, just keep adding oil and topping it off if you have no leaks, if you need to, you can try replacing your valve seals

I have a 3sge engine, same problem I encounter b4 I change the rubber/plastic gasket.

B4 I change, when I change the spark plugs, some of the spark plugs wet and stick with engine oil.

Cheap to change and it's a must with that mileage.

i think i burn some...eh, who knows

im almost at 160,000 miles

i always carry a qt or two of oil and just check it every once in a while. stick some in if its wayy low. i usually make it the 3,000 miles for oil changes before it goes low anyway so its usually not too much of a problem
