Motorhome drinking oil
We keep having to add engine oil to our Chevy 8.1L motorhome in signature...like 16 oz. every 500 miles. It had a leak a couple months ago and we had an oil line changed. No visible leak now. No smok...

1/2 qt in 500 miles but how much in 1000 miles? Many engines will use a half at and stay there for many miles. You don't need to add until it gets to "add" our almost.
I agree, a qt to 1000 miles is no big deal. I don't think the manufacturer would fix that even if it was still under warranty.
It is a big deal, modern gas motors should not eat oil..
I had a 2002 8.1 GM motor in a Flair motorhome and it to ate 1 quart every 1500 miles, Now my 2008 Ford V-10 motorhome never eats any oil, can go 10,000 miles if needed and never loose a drop..
