I have a VF2 Redline manual that is a bit of a garage queen, but does come out for some spirited runs on occasion. At least twice a year, the car is used to tow the family camping trailer, just a 6x4 trailer that is boxed and carries all our camping stuff and is fully loaded. I checked the oil after our last camping trip (Australia Day weekend just passed) and noticed that the LS3 had consumed a little bit of oil. Still over the full mark on the dipstick (The Holden dealer always seems to overfill it slightly), but I've learnt where the oil level normally sits at and its definitely dropped after the camping trip. The roads were quite hilly so the engine did have to work harder than normal on parts of the trip. Just wondering if this normal and if I would expect a little oil consumption when towing. Car is due for a service in 2 weeks, has done about 6000kms since its last service, this is the first time i've noticed some oil use.
