Default Oil level is low after oil change w/ Vortech SC

So today i did an oil change after 3,500 miles and all the oil that came out was about 2quarts. I use Mobil1 Full Synthetic oil with oem honda filter. Anyone else has this problem with the Vortech V2 SC?

don't you check your oil level regularly? open up the the oil filler cap that "might" let more out but unlikely.

Yeah that's a bit alarming alright, not so much that you have used up that oil, though that is very excessive, but that you waited till you only had two quarts left in the car before you figured it out. The more oil you burn/leak, the quicker you lose it. You lose lubrication, build more heat and in turn quicker oil consumption. I would move up to a 40w syn or move to dyno oil and make sure your level is topped off every time you fill up with gas at least.

Didn't your motor feel a little sluggish and noisy? I hope you didn't take too much life from your motor.
