Burning Oil
Hi all, (2006 S430)
I guess I'll start by taking a poll...How many S430 owners have what I consider significant oil burning? I have 125,000 miles on mine and ad 2-4 quarts
between oil changes which have been every 10,000 miles.
I'm trying to decide if I should dig deeper into the problem? Sell the car and move on? Or run it until it dies? The car is worth about $6K.
Thank you,
Ed

No evidence of oil on the under carriage from the engine back. No oil stains collected on the rear bumper.
When parked, there are no puddles of oil under the car.
