RR had recommended LE 8130 awhile back. This past oil change I decided to try LE 8130 ... I had been using Mobile 1 synthetic for about 50,000 miles. The LE 8130 has been in my car for 2,000 miles and my car is definitely consuming a lot more oil that it had when using Mobil 1.

Curious what others' experience has been with LE 8130?

Update ... switched back to Mobil 1 synthetic and have driven the car for 400 miles. Consumption is back to normal which is zero.

^ Not sure why you are being a little hash slipstream444. Your post is out of line.

I had read that thread a few times after doing searches as well as other threads referencing LE 8130. I am not lazy ... I do use the search feature. I could not find anyone posting their actual experience using that particular oil. Am I missing something?

Go Faassttt -
My last post was not an attempt to be harsh or hurt anyone's feelings. Sorry if I came off that way.

You mentioned you read the LE 8130 articles - the only thing I think you may have missed (indirectly) is how Road Rage continually advises folks to use what works best for them.
Every car consumes oil - some more than others. The fact your car reportedly does NOT consume M1 is contrary to nearly every M1 user that I'm aware of. Therefore, your experience will likely be different no matter what oil you choose.

Perhaps the tone of my previous post was partially because there are too many posts that can be answered by reading the Oil Journals, and your initial post sounded that way too.
If you would have posted that you had read the Oil Journal articles on LE8130 in your first post, you likely would have received several replies from those who use the oil (**and I wouldn't have posted a response ).

I'm glad your oil consumption is back to normal.
