I have a 8.1 in a 2004 PU that used a quart in about 1,000 miles sinse new, now AT 34,000 miles. Changed to Mobile 1 10w-30 synthetic this spring. Took a 3500 mile trip to Arizona and back towing a small TT and it didn't burn a drop! Still on the full mark when I got back! What the heck happened?
Was it the synthetic oil or did it just finally get broken in or what?
Still wondering but happy anyhow. 38,000 miles on the clock now.
