Depends on how well the engine's been maintained, how it's worn, and the
condition of the seals, etc. I know that with 120K on my Acclaim, if it
gets anything but high-mileage formula oil, it'll bleed out a quart or
two within 2 weeks (learned the hard way).

If you decide to switch, monitor your oil level and any
leak/seepage-prone areas closely for a while to make sure things are
still OK.
