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...

It is a 2002 with 90000 miles on it. Gaskets shrink, seals get worn, and there is some wear on the engine at 90000 miles. I would just check the oil and add when it gets down to the add line! I have a 2001 7.4 which I got several years ago when it had 9000 miles on it, now it has almost 30000 on it. It has always taken a quart at about 1200 to 1500 miles and it still does. I bet if you check the original manufacturers warranty you will find that it had to use more than a quart to 500 miles to get service under warranty!
