3.9 definitely... I have seen our own 3.0 start burning oil at 95k, our old
3.9 that was driven MUCH harder went to 120k before burning any oil. The
3.0 was in a Dodge Spirit and the truck was an 88. The truck saw a lot of
hauling, both loads and A55.... the spirit was mostly highway with my
mother driving it... she is a very easy driver... Just my $.047 based on
my own experience.
