Just checked mine last weekend at 3464mi, was down a quart (!!!)... waiting for 7500mi for oil change like it says in the manual. My drives are always 60mi at about 80mph.

Does anyone have a favorite dino oil to use when topping off? 10w-30, but does brand matter?

cdelena,

each x on the dipstick is 1/2 qt? It actually never occurred to me there might be a reason for those.

Even though I have 26,000 on the clock. All this talk about guzzling oil got to me and I checked it. PERFECT! Right at the H. I have 2,000 more miles to go before I change the oil.

I am seriously considering getting the pump from Griots Garage. Its like 70 bucks but if I dont have to crawl under the car on my back get oil on my hands and so on.....I will be happy. Of course you gotta change the oil filter but thats not a biggie!
