2006 Shinka, 92000mi
After a few oil changes I noticed that my oil levels were always full. I do add 1 quart around 1,500 miles into the oil change cycle but it never stumped me that my car wasn't consuming a lot.
I have no issues with the Shinka, compression is great, clutch still engages fully, and I have never overheated or went over on oil pressure. Prettt much healthy as a brand new car.
Last week I was over my oil change miles by 120 and decided to add a quart before a long drive and then getting the oil changed the next day. This time I did NOT add a quart mid cycle. On the trip I noticed first gear was stuttering and when I picked up RPMs past 5.5k the car would struggle and blow white smoke. I immediately pulled over and checked the forums for symptoms. I then cleaned out my Aem intake, and MAF. The car ran fine after.
So my question, is there something that I need to worry about if I'm not cunsuming as much oil as the car is pronounced to consume?
