#35 of 38 1 quart/1,000 miles on Northstars is normal by cliffs Jan 12, 2008 (9:02 am)
My parents have owned 5 Caddies in a row, all with NorthStar engines and they all eat about 1 qt every 1,000 miles. Good luck going after GM about it. The use the "normal" defense. Nothing I tried made much of difference. My advise is to use the cheapest oil you can get your hands on . . . if it's going to go anyway, use the cheap stuff.   Cliff Replies to this message: bolivar (Jan 12, 2008 1:06 pm) sls002 (Jan 12, 2008 3:47 pm)

Replying to: cliffs (Jan 12, 2008 9:02 am) My 2002 Seville used about 1 qt every 2000 miles after I started using Mobil 1 in it. I did not keep track before that and I changed over at about 30,000 miles. I did regularly wind the engine up to about 5000 RPMs. My 2007 SRX with a RWD northstar has gone 11,000 miles and is still full of oil. It was designed for synthetic though.
#38 of 38 Oil in the SparkPlug Threads. by dubville Mar 06, 2008 (6:49 pm)
I have a 97 deville with the northstar. I noticed when i changed my plugs there was a good coat of oil on the threads. What could that problem be? I loose oil on occasion, sometimes much sometimes little. would it be cheaper to maybe get this fixed or buy a new engine and have it installed? I guess i need to narrow down possible problems with this...
