That was definitely my translation, It’s a Hispanic mechanic shop so there’s a little language barrier. They are very honest and do great work. I specifally remember him saying things about rings and pistons Being worn and oil mixing with the gas which is why the truck has a hard time starting and remaining in idle but once it is heated up it is able to burn off the oil and rides better... He said they pull out engines all the time and there is a machine shop on the same block that does quality work as well and they take it to them...
As for oil consumption I probably had put in 5 quarts in the last 3000 miles, (since the last oil change)
this is the one I used
