Update: I am 1815 miles in, with a 400 mile round trip this past weekend, and oil level is still great. Only a very slight dip (~1/8qt at most) which I still see as a win. Seems like the B12 soak seriously helped my oil loss issue and I’d recommend for anyone as it’s a cheap relatively easy...

Update: Did a Berryman B12 soak for ~50 hours, rotating the crank every 6 or so hours and pouring more B12 in each cylinder. Made sure the cylinders were dry, put it back together, and started the car up (took a few minutes, and put a little Marvel mystery oil in each cylinder to help out)...

Yeah I've seen the posts with AC Delco top end cleaner or similar soak on the pistons overnight or longer. I think this is the best next step for me. Seems easy to do and relatively cheap compared to some of the other work I've had done.

Haven't taken off the turbo manifold and wont have access to do that for a bit. If the leakdown test is correct at 3% for each cylinder/good compression that would rule out the head gasket? Leakdown test was done 6100 miles ago (March). No oil in the intercooler piping and when I empty the OCC...

I am still burning about 1 qt/1000 mi or more and I'm at a loss at to what to do next. It's definitely coming out of the exhaust and not a leak, it will smoke during the idle test and the tips get black shortly after cleaning them. There are no leaks, I park in the same spot everyday and never...

Here’s my exhaust tip after taking a paper towel to it to show the oil buildup. The large hoses off the intercooler were clean when I did the compression test. The new PCV has been on for about 5000 miles. OCC only has a small amount of oil when I empty it, but each time there’s some in there...

I was ready to upgrade to the V3 (still have a V2 from the previous owner) and get a freektune but wanted to solve this oil issue first, didn't think my tune was suddenly causing the oil loss. Didnt want to drop the $$ on that if my engine was toast.

Corksport 3" performance air intake and an OTS cobb tune. The previous owner has had that tune on the car since early 2016, oil issue has only been going on for the last 1.5 years.
