Does ur car burn oil?

I read all these threads about the car burning oil and people have to put more oil after certain time. I usually check the oil every 500 miles or so and never noticed any oil reduction. Is this normal?

I think if you drive like a maniac your car will burn oil.!!
Just use oil that is best for high rev motors..Like Redline..

The thing is i do drive like a maniac. I redline at least 3 times a day with 3 gears. Every freeway entrance is 6600 rpm at least 3 gears. Not counting once a month hard canyon runs.

On what detailed data are you claiming Redline as "best"?? Amsoil is probably the best from the oil analysis reports I've read. Redline is fine oil. Certainly a quality product. But "best"? Top 3-4 maybe.

I have alot of friends that have high end cars such as 911 turbo,z06,viper srt-10.Plus the mechanic me and my buddy go to works on ferrari 360 challenge.All of the above are running redline oil.Im not saying that redline is the best oil for other people.But from what ive seen in my opinion,redline is for me all the way.!! Than again this ismy opinion.!!

I think we are going offtopic. My original questions was, are there any Gs that don't burn oil at all? If not is it normal to not burn oil?

Of course there are. It's what is causing all the VQ35 oil consumption issues. If yours doesn't use oil, consider yourself one of the lucky ones

Vlad is one of the reasons why I think that maybe breaking your car in like you stole it (hard) is the way to do it. He drives his car hard while going through drive thrus!! lol!! And this guys car does not skip a beat!!
