Does your engine burn oil? A qt is lost after about 5000 miles. Is this normal for diesel engines. this is what I was told, all diesels burn oil. My motor just turned over 95000 miles and its complete stock. Its a 93.

1 qt. in 5000, is nothing to worrie about

Ditto, don't worry about it. Just keep it topped up.

It`s normal for all engines to burn some oil, the question is, how much is too much? The "industry accepted" standard is approx 1 qt. in 1000 miles. I wouldnt give it a second thought in your case.

I have had engines that would burn 2 quarts just getting to town. So for 5000 miles, be happy.
