Weight: 5W30
Habits: variety - some weeks for use by spouse for errands - some weeks
spouse drives me to work and sons to college in same trip - plus the return
journey - some weekends we have day trips to Banff area (about 150 km's from
Calgary).

Advice?
Thanks,

This is because one of there engine sizes has BIG oil comsumption problems
and they are "poisoning" the atmosphere to prevent people from requesting
expensive warantee repairs.

What? You've only got 75,000 miles! You haven't been changing your oil
according to the Owner's Manual, have you?

Our old MR2 had 148,500 miles when we sold it. It got easily much more than
that out of a quart.

Bill, did you ever heat it up pretty good? The amount consumed is
considered in specs though.

Well, I'd almost bet you vote democrat, I'm just suprised you didnt
manage to get the Halliburton in there, maybe "Big Oil" likes the oil
consumption and you could blame them? Maybe you should go and mulch your
lawn or compost your newspapers, just do something...

Engine has never overheated.

Thanks,

Canada.

and 
welcome. 

I have maintained this vehicle by the book. Oil changes every 8000 km's.
All other recommended maintenance according to the manufacturers' spec's.
