Cummins Lift Pump Question

From : yofuri

Q: ...and a non-tired engine will use no more oil at 3500 than at 1800. speaking from experience you are wrong. i had a 350 that in normal around town and commuting use would go 1000 miles on a quart. but if i ran it on a high speed trip even for only 200 miles and assuming it was probably already half a quart low to start it would use nearly another quart in that 200 miles. it was like that since i bought it at 24000 miles and it stayed exactly like that up till the time i sold it at 124000 miles. read the comment again. he said a non-tired engine. using over a quart of oil every 200 highway miles is not an acceptable consumption rate even by 1967 standards. your 350 engine had significant problems at 24000 miles. this thing must have smoked like a freight train on the highway. it sounds like you had the exact same problem outlined in the original question. using one quart of oil in 200 highway miles adds up to using 4 quarts in 800 miles. i suck at math and even i could figure that one out. .
