i wouldnt mess with the valves just yet, i would get a tune up some new spark plugs and wires and see what that does for you. if you want good spark plugs go on americanmuscle.com and they have zex spark plugs i have them in my car and there awsome.

yeah i think it may be time to get some plugs and wires anyway. but the valve seals maybe gettin wore and thats a lot cheaper than the valves. i'm keepin an eye on the oil level for a while and then goin to look into the seals in a month or so. thanks for the input

I don't recall the 2002 mustang using spark plug wires. Try flushing the system with sea foam. Use it in your oil, gas tank and run 1/3 of it into your intake through a vacuum line on the plenum. Maybe new plugs too if their olddddddd.

my 96 gt was burning oil id burn about 3 quarts or so before my next oil change.
i changed my oil to pennzoil platinum and ran a bottle of lucas oil stabilizer and after that i lost another quart and i added another bottle of lucas and my low oil light hasnt come on since.
i suggest changing your oil and running a quart or two of lucas oil stabilizer.

My 96 Burned oil while it was cold (If driven hard) and also, I'd notice if I would sit and idle extendedly then reverse quickly, the oil would quickly burn off.
I completed the PI swap, turns out it was the Valve guides. Quite worn.

hey everyone thanks! it isnt burning a lot but it was 2 quarts low after the half way point(in between oil changes) i think the plugs are the original ones. so i might look into somthin that works better with nitrous but thats goin to be later on in the year or next spring. i am new to the sight and love the feeback i've gotten and appreciate all the feedback.
