So I changed the oil in MY00 today with a buddy of mine after checking the level and seeing it was low the other day...plus the oil light was flickering the day before. Went to drain it and only got about 2 quarts of very dark fluid out (I use Mobil 1 10-30)

The dipstick reading the day before didn't indicate it was that low I didn't think but either way, wow. Rather then being a dumbass and checking the oil every 2 weeks if that, I will be checking it on every fillup as you should...this should be a reminder to many!! There was a slight tick before as well, but now that disappeared.

The oil was changed approx 4k ago, so it burned almost 3 quarts in 8 months

I also got my new Pirelli snowsport 210 mounted as well, but we've had a lack of snow here lately, I am definately eager to see how they handle

 

Woah. I change my oil every 4 weeks, then again I drive 5-6K km's a month. I check my oil level every fillup, every s2k owner should, this is a good reminder.

Glad no damage occured man!

 

Yeah, definately something I will not overlook in the future. And holy miles!! Every 3-4 weeks, wow, mine is a daily driver and I change it maybe every 6-7 months

 

hopefully nothing was damaged. when i had my 03, i burned a lot of oil. i checked my oil at every fill up, and if i did a spirited drive, i would check it after that.

 

 

i use mine as a DD... and i check my oil after every drive... i keep close watch of the X's in the dipstick

 

I try and check mine atleast once a week, if not more.

I prob change my oil everyone 2 1/2 months...thats between 3-4k miles(closer to 3k)

 

Check the oil in the AM, so you don't get a skewed reading.

I had an s2k here the other day and drained only two quarts out.

Can't believe both of you don't need engines.

 

This is the fifth post in the last week involving M1 and excessive consumption rates. Not that M1 and high oil consumption is new, but this seems like a pretty ominous cluster of very high M1 consumption posts in a very short period of time...

 

I have been using mobile 1 in my turbo s and runs fine with no oil burning
