Re: new engine using oil

Procedure: 1- Warm the engine by driving it gently for a few miles. 2- in high gear, accelerate using full throttle from 20 mph to 40 mph. 3- slow back down to 20 slowly (don't back off the throttle completely) 4- do this 10 times in reasonably quick succession. This should completely seat the rings and solve the problem. Good luck!
