just curios to know what would be normal oil consumption on a 05 gp with 25k. and should i add missing oil.my oil dropped half way on dipstick lines after 5k.

It says you're from Canada, is this 5k miles or kilometers? My 04 would typically go down 1 or 2 notches in between oil changes of ~4k miles. The drop in oil has been consistent since I purchased at 26k miles until the last couple oil changes at over 120k miles.

The k were in miles.I should of stated that.my car has the exact consumption as your gp.My 2002 consumed approx the same at 70 000 miles .(2 notches).I always hear stories of so and so's car not burning a drop.I quess i won't add any and just do my oil changes at the right intervals.



Thanks sportredgt1

Internal combustion engines burn oil by design. You're just fine. If somebodys' car burns NO oil...that's bad.

My engine must be going bad.
Since I put the Amsoil microfiber air filter in the car,it hasn't used a drop of oil in almost two months.
My slightly noisy lifter [on startup] has shut up too.
Go figure.
Normally by now I would have added at least half a quart of oil.

Thanks Pontiac...Bleen is keen!

So you're saying your air filter has fixed your oil problem? That's probably the most obnoxious thing I've read in a day or two.

It does appear to have helped out.
If you think about it,it does make sense.
