Default 07 oil consumption

I have a 2007 Ultra and it has used 3/4 qt of oil in 2500 miles. Anybody think this is excessive? I may run it harder than most people.

I run mine hard and it uses very little if any. You might try using a heavier oil like this.



Get it here. Fast shipping, great price.

Redline oil

Same here, I've never had to add oil between oil changes.

This is not normal. I have 16k miles on my ultra and it goes from oil change to oil change without using any. I change oil at 3 to 5k miles using Amsoil.
