Chris,
My 94 V-6 has 97,000 miles and I am burning about a quart every 3000
miles. I know from experiences with my 94 Caravan the valve seals are going
bad. The van has a 3.0 liter and was blowing smoke after an idle period.
Had the valve seals changed and now it doesn't use any oil.

My 94 V6 has been consuming about a quart of oil every 1500-2000 miles.
Should I be concerned, or is this normal? I have not spotted any spots
underneath, so I assume it is being burned. I have not had a chance to
remove the plugs and check for fouling, but that is my next course of
action. The engine has 62,000 miles on it. Also, has anyone run into any
problems with using fuel-injector/intake valve cleaners such as Castle
Fireball?
