Oil Consumption Question

[Lonnie]

What is a typical amount of oil consumption with the NHC250 engine?

Just trying to figure how many miles per quart to expect in normal usage.
Your experiences are appreciated.

Should be none. Mine does not burn any.

I have several Nhc 250s and none burn any oil. The older M813 smokes a little on start up, nature of the beast, oil stay at the full mark.

I have two M939's and they don't burn any oil.

ditto, no oil added

Good to know... I just figured if the average car uses 1qt ever 2000mi or so, then an engine 4x the size may use it at a somewhat higher rate.

I've only put a about 200mi on mine so far & considering the difference between full & add is measured in gallons, not quarts I did not know what to expect.

I have put over 5k on my NC250 and not added any oil.

I've got 200,000 miles on a 4 cylinder mercury mystique, don't know where you're getting 1 qt every 2000 miles..... Don't think I've needed to add oil between the 7500-10,000 mile oil changes with Amsoil.
