Well, my engine is definitely consuming oil.

I went out for lunch today and my oil light came on. I checked the dipstick and it was definitely low. So I stopped at Pep Boys and got some Mobile1 to top it off. I'm gonna start carrying the Red Line in the car for now on until this issue is resolved.

Also, yesterday I checked my coolant reservoir and it was at the MAX fill line. It was hard to tell if oil is mixing with it because you can't directly see the fluid with our type of reservoir. But from what I could tell, it looked blueish-green. Again, really hard to tell if it was clean. I'll try to snap some pics of it and post it here.

So far, I haven't noticed any discoloration in the exhaust smoke, nor any alarming fumes.

Man, my BlackStone testing kit needs to arrive soon.
