Okay all...my baby's got 39,000 miles.I noticed at least a month ago when I had Royal Purple in there,she seemed to use some oil.Not smoking,just dropping.I've no oil leaks.I changed out to 10/40(always 10/40)Motul double ester syn.300V.I never had any oil loss issues until a couple of months ago.It's always been Kawachem 10/40 syn.I ran about oh,say two weeks without checking the level.The other day I checked it....it didn't even appear in the sight glass at the vertical.Anyone having this kind of oil situation?No oil lamp lighting.She took about a half quart,maybe a bit more.I've used Gumout injector cleaner maybe three times in the 3 years I've owned her(twice this last year).Could this cause a problem with the tolerances inside the engine?I've had er up several times to the top.But those times would be compared as minimal in the overall mileage and running speeds.
Can the oil just "go away" without any engine parts actually being bad?It seemed to me that prior to this starting,she never needed any oil between changes...you know,2500,3000 miles or so.
Thanks all...ride safe and have a blast with yer spaceships!
