Congratulations! Glad to see another new PA guy on board. I've had mine just over a week now, and am sooo close to the 600 mile break in. Good luck, and see you on Rt. 76!

Speaking of checking the oil. . . when did you first have to add some? I've put about 300 miles on the car this week, but it looks like i need to add a quart already??? Does that sound right?

Be careful about that, happs. A quart after 300 sounds excessive. How many X's are you down on the dip. Each X is probably no more than an 1/8 of a quart or so. The thing is, you don't want to overfill either.

Hmm, maybe I'm just being paranoid. I thought it was a bit below the "normal" full, so maybe not a quart low, but certainly burning off faster than I'm used to. Going to be in the dealership tomorrow anyway (someone scratched the leather seat on a prior test drive and the dealer "forgot" to fix it before I picked the car up), so I'll ask the techs. Thanks for the advice, otherwise I may have been overzealous and overfilled.
