I used to get a fair bit out of my old truck. Don't have one in this one.

Never measured it but I guess it could get up to around 20-30 ml every 5k

I have an 04 3 litre which has done 105 clicks and at a guess get easy 50 to 100 ml every 5000. Provent I fitted at 90 clicks / end of last year roughly . Oil is caltex delo 400 semi synth .

I get nothing pretty sure or 100% the guys fitted it right, I'll have a look tomorrow,
I;ve had it fitted 10-15k I'd say.

I find nothing much happens when I'm not towing but I get some when I do. I'll measure it next time
