Penzoil 10W-40 and filter ( 5 qts ) breakin oil. After 50+ miles started smoking, by 200+ miles was using oil, added 2 qts by 505 miles. When oil was changed and new Fram oil filter. Breakin oil was black as ink. New Penzoil 10W-40 and filter ( 5 qts ). After 100+ miles smoking at crankup ( can't tell if it smokes while driving ). At 274 miles 1 qt low. AT 390 miles another 1/2 qt low. On checking today found oil in the large pipe around 3 inches in diameter that goes from the air filter intake box to butterfly that lets air into the engine. The engine has 3 year -- 100,000 mile warranty parts and labor. Runs good, with lots of power for this size engine. But when you get it on the open highway at 60 to 65 it uses oil fast, like a qt every 125 miles. Around town 10 to 15 mile trips use is very low. Drove 45 to 55 the fastert during breakin. Anyone have any ideas what may be going on with this engine. BUD
