Hi,
I have own this 2002 9-5 Linear for about 5+ years now, bought it when it only has only 45K miles on the vehicle and now it has 134K. It has been running great some minor repairs such as, Turbo (78K), Alternator, Battery, PCV #6 update, and front & rear struts. I changed out the plugs every 15K miles or less with recommended NKG's plugs. I run 0w40 in winter and 5w40 in the summer with T6 Rotella full Synthetic oil. The tranny fluid gets changed every 30K miles with Mobil 3099(?).
I noticed that I go through a quart of oil between 5K miles oil changes regardless if I use Mobil 1 or Rotella. No oil leakage or black smokes. I also noticed that my gas mileage is also down to about 20-22 MPG combine. The car runs and drives great with plenty of passing power.
Should I be concerned about the oil consumption or look for something that I can used with the motor oil?
Thanks and have a great day!!
Jon
