That does seem like abit of oil to be used in 200 miles. Does anyone know how much the Max to the Min actaully is? Was that hard driving or normall?
I know what you mean about other engines not burning/using any oil. It just shocks me on the amount the YB's use. And coupled with the fact that i cant see ANY smoke when the car is on full throttle. Only on the overrun is it seen.
