I know the is no fix in a can, I bought this to drive to work, not my main ride, like to keep that one out of the salt. I traded a 91 s10 for it, that was all rusted out, the guy told me it used oil, so I"m not shocked. he drove it 100 miles a day to work, now he retired, wanted a truck to haul crap, I stopped by my mechanic"s shop, been going to him for many yrs. he told me to add oil when needed and drive it till it drops, he said it probably will run for many more miles that way, was pretty normal for that motor, that"s what I"m going to do, cars not worth rebuilding engine. gets way better gas mileage than the s10, like almost double. anyway a qt. every 800 to 1000 mi. is no big deal less than 1 gal. of gas. thanks for your replies, Black Bart.
