Every time I check my oil it is well below the min. line on the oil stick. What's up with that??? I refill but it goes down again. I checked after every oil change and it was right above the max line. I'm not leaking it and I don't appear to be burning it? Any Ideas?

im not a man of extreme 420a wisdom but i do know that our cars to tend to go through oil just a bit. i mean come on its a sports car ya know, and you probably drive it kinda hard sometimes just like i do. and i also know that whenever i check my oil after i do an oil change, it can be perfect and then i can just drive for a matter of minutes, come back check it and it can be like a half a quart low or so because it gets circulated into the new dry filter and everything else.

We use a 1/2 quart oil filter. The best bet is to fill the filter with oil. Then, you add 4 quarts through the oil fill cap. Should stay about the same level.

yeah same thing happens to me.

well do a compression check 1st, make sure your numbers are ok.. check your coolant see/ smell if there is oil within in.. pull your plugs and check them out.. have u looked around the block to see if its leaking? how many miles do you got on her now?... my car is pretty good with me on not drinking alot of oil ...

well I personally had a shitload of blow-by with my old block. The guy at the dealership said that it was caused by inproper break in and the rings not seating properly. I remember everytime I would clean my K&N it would be oily as shit. when I took off the filter I would have oil dripping from my intake onto the floor (not much but enough). I think that is what caused me to get a spun bearing
