Hello,
I've noticed that my 1020 gas is consuming approx. 1/2 quart of oil every 10-12 hrs of hard work. Compression check seems very good at 1) 150psi 2) 145 3) 145. Only smoke I see is at cold startup and when increasing the throttle suddenly from idle after warmup but not always. I'm using 15-40 HD this year but noticed similar results with straight sae30 last year. Is oil consumption normal for this engine? If not, what would you suspect is cause?
thank you
