How's your car doing with regard to consumption? I'm curious because I haven't noticed any change since having the SC put on in December. I have to top up a couple of times between changes but it's less than a pint total.
I change my oil at 3,000 mile intervals (sometimes getting lazy I let it run closer to 4,000 miles), and except for two instances, my car hasn't used any oil between changes. However, I did have to add a quart once, and a half a quart once. The SC doesn't seem to have increased consumption at all.

EDIT: Even so, I still check my oil level every time I get gas.

That's the interval I use as well pretty much. I check it every Saturday morning cold in the garage as that's typically more often than I have to buy gas.

It still amazes me the differences between engines in the MY00's as to oil use.
