I have a 1979 Buick Century Wagon witha 3.8l V 6 engine.
It is burning oil at the rate of 1 quart per 400 to 600
miles.  Seems to get better oil mileage when driven for longer
distances.  I was thinking of changing the valve seals.
According to the service manual that are only seals on
the intake valves.  Any comments on what to do?
The oil I am using is Mobil 1.
