Oil consumption is greatly dependant upon engine speed, with
consumption being highest at wide‑open throttle and decreasing
substantially as engine speed is reduced. It is not uncommon for big
block high performance engines to use up to one quart of oil in one
to five hours if the engine is operated continuously at the upper end
of the RPM range.
1. With the engine at normal operating temperature and engine
speed at idle, check the oil reservoir sight tube.

center of the reservoir split ring.

NOTE: If the engine is not operated for a period of time (several
days or longer), a certain amount of oil may drain from the reservoir
back into the engine. When the engine is started this oil will be
pumped back into the reservoir.
