Default Using Oil Anyone?

Just wondering if anyone else's S2000 is using as much oil as mine is... I've got a 2002 with just under 36,000 on it. Last oil change was the 30,000 mile check up. Already put two quarts in since then. Also my exhaust tips get very black and i find myself constantly cleaning them after two or three rides. Anyone else experiencing the same thing and are there any simple solutions. Oh yeah and by the way I'm using Mobile1 15w50 Syn.

I'd like to know, too.
If you aren't careful and "get on it" before the oil warms up, with that thick of an oil, maybe you've damaged some seals. Even at "3 bars", the oil may only be around 100 - 120 degrees. I can only imagine the oil pressure at 9000 rpm with a 15W50.
