Required 1 pint daily top offs. Found oil leak had repaired 10hrs labor plus gasket set. I own 2005 bmw x5 3.0i with 135k miles and loses 2 quarts of oil every 500 miles.
At the same time x5 was the first suv that has been ever.
I have done lots of repairs including replacing oil gasket seal and others. Or is it grean or reddish like antifreeze? Too much oil in an automotive engine can cause high oil pressure. The dreaded bmw n62 v8 valley pan repair.
