Ah, your sled is addicted to oil! *Will he admit he has a problem or is he in denile? *Does he sneak swigs of oil when you aren't looking?

Seriously though, you should first check your oil pump and be certain the marks line up. *My guess is you will find your pump is out of alignment. *I believe you have the 488 fan motor in that sled. *Or is it the 440 motor? *Well if its the 488, I used to have a 488 trail and it was very easy on oil consumption. *Check to be sure the marks line up and let us know.

Oil brand/type should not matter.
