How low is "PRETTY LOW"??

And how long since you last checked it.... how many miles??

It is not uncommon for the NorthStar to use oil, if it is never driven "BRISKLY"...

They like to be driven fairly hard every once in a while.

The catalytic converter will gobble up quite a bit of oil (without allowing smoke out the tailpipe); probably loosing oil past the oil rings.

Mine did the same thing when I got it. It is due to the engine being driven wimpily...... This engine likes to be driven hard.

Look up the WOT procedure under my name (advanced search) I have posted it a bunch of times and follow it. Do it once a week for a month, then once a month, you CAN improve your oil consumption. In the mean time, when you are getting on to highways, open her up, she likes to be driven hard!

Drive it like you stole it!

LOL...I know... I just didn't want to be blamed if he tore something up... :D :D

I checked my oil yesterday afternoon.... it is "MAYBE" a cup low....

It was last changed a little over 5,000 miles ago and has not had any oil added since it was changed.

Mine does get "DROVE"...:D :D

Made a little 300 mile trip yesterday....hit 100 a few times.... and 128 when I was passing 2 big trucks that were running nose to tail...

I love my Cadillac NorthStar...:yupi3ti:
