1998 Prizm no longer burning oil/Magic?
I figured i would let you all know, I check my oil every 200 miles. And previously it would be down to about a quart left every 200.
Now, After checking my usual every 200 miles and doing my oil change today i am pleased to tell you my car barely burned a quart after 3000 miles.
What did i change:
My last oil change i switched from running cheap ass autostore brand oil to Valvoline 5w-30. Even the oil itself was cleaner after draining than last time.
Installed a mobil1 oil filter instead of FRAM<---I know, awful.
I think the two biggest things that made a difference was:
-I ran a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment through a full tank of gas.
-I also ran some of the Lucas Oil treatment through the system at my last oil change.
Some other improvements i noticed are better mpg and a quieter engine idle.
Not saying this will fix everyones problems but, $20 worth of stuff is worth a try.
