the car runs great ,but it's got a ton of mileage , easily 200,000 the odo has been broken for years.I have a 94 crown vic ,burns a qt. of oil weekly, any sugg. on treatment or viscosity i should run?
change the gaskets and use 50 weight oil its thicker than normalI have a 94 crown vic ,burns a qt. of oil weekly, any sugg. on treatment or viscosity i should run?
is it burning the oil or leaking it
If it's burning a quart of oil a week, as seen by blue smoke where ever you go, it's not running great. If it's leaking that much, find out where it's leaking and change the gasket to stop it.
If it is burning it, with that many miles it probably wouldn't pay to try to fix it.
wow thats horrible....okay...dont up the viscocity until you know its NOT burning the oil. you up the vis and its burning oil you better start car shopping! check your gaskets and valves/rings for a leak but dont up it until you're sure
My grandad used a 15/40 Deisel oil when his farm trucks started to smoke he would add 1 quart to every 5 quarts of regular engine oil they did'nt smoke as much but he would use a truck until it quit if you are not planning to use your car till it stops you may want to go another route.
