Devildub_06 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Don't know what the "official" specs are, mine used 3-500ml every 1,000 miles. Link to post Share on other sites

vr6newcomer 1 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 a litre per 1k miles is about right, but thats semi synthetic, fully synthetic will burn up even faster, its not really anything to worry about, its just because of the nature of the vr6 lump running so hot.
