- Hi All, The other day I ask a question and, maybe, because of the way I presented it, the question received no replies. I was trying to get a feel for how much oil MG users need to put in their cars.

- 79B - 2500 miles in 9 months, didn't add any oil (dipstick about 1/4 quart low)....just lucky I guess. Frank Sperling 79B "Mugs"

- My '67 B doesn't burn or leak any detactable amount between changes (3000 mi.). Triumphs are the oil leak champs of british cars. Milo

- About a quart every few hundred miles, and it's mostly leaking...through the head gasket, through the side seals, through the oil pan seal -- you name it, if it's supposed to be sealed, it leaks. Som

- Before I had my engine rebuilt I would say I used a quart every three months or so. After the engine was rebuilt, I didn't have to add any significsnt amount of oil between changes. Last summer I bl

- I've owned the BlueBee for three years and she's always leaked about a quart a month. Mostly out the timing chain cover. I've always loved the one guy's signature about his car marking its territory.

- Dan - I've got a 71 MGBGT which does not burn oil. When I had my 70 convertible, it used oil when I had problems with the engine, but after rebuilds of the head and block, stopped using it. I would c

- Dan, Before I took it off the road to do the right side sills ( last July), my 80 'B was using no more than a quart or two between changes (3000 miles). I used the car as my daily driver for the non

- I notice that since I started using 20w 50, the leakage and the consumption is a lot less. The car seems to run better too. Newell Burke 73 MGBGT (Bigfoot)
