7th Gen ('06-'07): Loosing oil
#1
Loosing oil
I seem to be using about a quart of oil every couple of months. I have check for leaks and have found nothing. I don't smell anything either. I was talking to a Mechanic that I know, and he seems to think that my valves need to be adjusted. and the seals may need to be replaced. Is this a common problem with a 2007 Monte SS V8? I drive about 500 miles a week, on the interstate.

How many miles on your 07 S.S. ?
Does you engine have any modifications ? If so, please post to help our expert member's help you ?
What type of oil are you using ? What weight ?
Yes, wore valve seals can increase oil consumption.
Look forward to your reply

This is a common problem with the LS4 engines.
It's the DOD kicking it does cause slight burning of oil.
The best way to fix it is to tune out the DOD.

The car has 86,000 miles on it, no modifications on the motor as of yet, but I have noticed on the last oil change at Goodyear, the oil they used was 5W 20, I will be putting 5W 30, When I start changing it myself
