How often should I change my oil if my car is old and burns oil?

I live in Ohio and have an older vehicle. 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis. Pretty positive the car isn't leaking oil (likely burning it). I change the oil every 6 months. For the last few years it ALWAYS runs out of oil between changes. I'm new at this and have been remembering to check the dipstick and add oil. Should I go longer between oil changes since I'm adding new (clean) oil? If not, why? How often does the fuel filter need changing? Also - am I wasting my money paying $40-$50 for the expensive synthetic oil change service?How often should I change my oil if my car is old and burns oil?You should definitely resolve your loss of engine oil problem before using a synthetic oil. You are however, taking the best possible action by keeping check on your oil level. Synthetic oil is used to prevent the types of problems you are describing. Save the money from the synthetic oil change service and use it to have your oil loss problem repaired. Once resolved, then consider changing to a synthetic oil.



The fuel filter generally needs to be changed once a year on high mileage vehicles.How often should I change my oil if my car is old and burns oil?in my old car that i had i usually changed it every 1,500 - 2,000 miles. had the same problem on burning oil.How often should I change my oil if my car is old and burns oil?wasting your money. Change at 3000 miles with conventional oil (5W30) and keep it topped off when needed. Change the fuel filter every 15000.How often should I change my oil if my car is old and burns oil?I can't believe that you are using that much oil without a leak and if it burns that much you will have a permanent smoke screen behind you that you couldn't miss. Old engines need thicker oil not synth.

Amsoil do oil for older motors.

If you have no smoke screen you need to get someone to find out where it's going???How often should I change my oil if my car is old and burns oil?You have an oil leak on the outside or inside of the engine. Your car doesn't %26quot;burn%26quot; oil it uses it to lube the engine. If your car is %26quot;burning%26quot; oil then there's something wrong. All that said. I'd change your filter every 3,000 miles but if the oil it just burning up I'd just use cheap oil (just not the really cheap stuff). Every 1,000 miles or so I'd %26quot;top it off%26quot;. I don't have much money so I'd deal with an oil leak and have to top off my oil every so often over spending $500-1000 getting my engine fixed. Good luck.

think about it you are putting a fresh quart of oil in there any ways so just change your oil filter every so often i haven't changed my oil in 3 years in my 1994 crown vic with that same engine as the grand marquise mine uses oil too the oil never turns blackHow often should I change my oil if my car is old and burns oil?Have you done an engine flush yet? That is always something to start with when your car is burning oil. you may have some internal issues such as sludge and blockages that are causing you issues. Also when was your O2 sensor changes last? There are several things that can help reduce or eliminate your problems, then you can go with a superior oil from AMSOIL.
