Like the combustion chamber. The viscosity of the oil lends itself to premature problems such as oil consumption etc. However, I do know that if you were to change over to royal purpal synthetics, your problem could be solved. I tried redline products for a while and they were shit compared to what I was using (Castrol). The only thing I still use of redline is the water wetter for the track.<br /><br />OR<br /><br />If you run that GT hard and you just switched to synthetic, you'll smell/see a bit of oil consumption. At least that is MY EXPERIANCES with motor oils in my cars. <br /><br />But Shit... I have only had 5.0s so I may be talking out of my ass right now. <br /><br />Hope this helps a little. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ci$ko</b> <br /><small>Member # 2425</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,6,20,22,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thnks im going to drive a few more days see if it goes away or if any has burnt off <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>98Snake</b> <br /><small>Member # 183</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,6,21,9,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I burned some oil every 1500 miles using Mobil 1.
