Default Oil check

When I first got the car I checked the level every 200 or so miles to get a read on the oil consumption. There was none. Changed oil at 1000 miles to synthetic. Just checked it after reading this thread and at 2300 miles into this oil change, (3340 miles total) there has been no noticed usage.

I did adhere to mfg, recommended break in procedures. Only violated 4000 rpm a couple of times, my fault.

I hardly ever redline the motor, trying to make it last I guess.

However it is a high performance engine and I would expect more usage then a lower compression engine.

Eh, so what if it uses a little, not a show stopper for me.
