on my last oil change i put mobil 1 5w30 5 quarts. I checked the level few hours later it was on "High" if i read right. Now it's below mid level and I've put only few miles on it. Maybe the 5 quarts didn't fill it up all the way?
Nope after oil change I let it sit and saw the oil level at high. Then I ran the motor, drove for a while (oil have gotten to the oil filter-- which can cause to lower my oil level) then turned it of. Next morning checked it and it was around midline.
First off when i got my 01 i changed the oil with mobil 1 and in the 2800miles i used 4 quarts that's how much it was burning, i changed to castrol gtx fully synthetic, now i put 1 quart every 2800 which is great, also you have to check oil when it's hot, for example, i drive my car let's say 5-10 mins and then turn off the engine, open my hood, take the dipstick out wait 5 mins and check it, the dipstick sometimes lies so check more then once, also changing the pcv valve doesn't hurt it's like $5 at autozone.
