If any of you guys could offer me an estimate on how much oil your trucks burn, and the year and miles, I would greatly appreciate it.

Between 1/2 and 1 qt in 2500- 3000 miles depends on how hard I drive.
Good Day!
Every one of the trucks listed in my profile use ~ a quart every 2000 miles, regardless of what oil I'm using. The 6.5TD's use a little more when working hard, the 82 6.2 would go ~ 500 miles per quart when worked hard.
Blessings!
#1) .5 quarts per thousand under under tow;
#2) 1 quart per thousand under under tow;
#3) 0 quarts per thousand miles under tow.
Thanks for the input, guys. I'm trying to get a handle on oil consumption of older GM built engines vs. current GEP built product.
.5 quart per 3000 mi with 11k on motor, all towing, workin it pretty good.

About 1 quart every 3000 miles. See profile below.
I agree, same as my 1999. I've got 150K on the truck. When I change oil, I just add in 2 gallons. When I go to change the oil, old oil level is at the full mark, maybe 1/4 low depending on if I was towing. I typically let my oil pan drain with the oil pan heater on, seems to drain faster and more thoroughly. When I fill up the new oil its maybe 1/2 over.Originally posted by Hubert:
