2000 cadillac deville north star with 50 thousand miles....uses oil and has since 30 thousand miles... Cates motor company of madisonville, kentucky says that using oil is normal for the north star engine. Using oil is not normal! I have never owned anything but cadillacs and they didn't use oil until 100+thousand miles. My 88 cadillac sedan deville-gold executive has 203,000 miles and uses a quart every 3,000 miles! A 2000 cadillac deville with a north star engine should not be using oil...
