    You guys still burning oil?

    Have to add another qt. I'm at 10.5K miles. I'm almost positive I added one around 9K miles...

    My car hit 2400 before the 1st qt was added. It is now at 2800 and still reads the same as when it was topped off. I know it is only 400 miles, but the first 2400 does not imply unusual oil usage. I followed the normal break-in procedure and still kept it below 7K RPM until 2K miles.
