I have a 1993 ATX and I changed my oil three months ago (used Valvoline max life synthetic oil) and my car leaks no oil. But anyways the other day I checked my oil level and it was a quart low!! I was wondering where the **** did it go because its not on the ground or did it just gobble it up somehow. Has anyone else here experienced the same thing. I know some cars just consume oil really fast, IE: Mazda RX8 (some RX8 owners have to put a quart in every 2-3 weeks) My car also getts really shity gas milage like 190 to a tank. i think that sucks but I guess you have to pay to play but what kind of gas milage to you guys get in your SHO.

Its the valve seals. They are the first to go and cancause your SHO to eat mad oil. My old 3.0 had 130K on it and I went through a quart ever 600-700 miles. Thought it was a combination of the rings and valve seals, but after I pulled the heads there was not even a ridge at the top of the cylinders and you could still see the hone marks on the m quite clearly. It was 100% the valve seals.
