If it really isn't leaking it can only be burning it; I'd expect
quite a bit of blue smoke out the tailpipe. My BJ8's engine was
rebuilt a couple years ago and uses some, less than this one, but
isn't leaking it--I was under it yesterday--and I only get a
little blue smoke after a long downhill run in gear.<br>

<div>In 2012 he used 6 quarts of oil on a 5000 mile trip.
