Ok...so took the advice in this thread and check my oil lol....and this is what I found...

I did an oil change at 3700 miles to synthetic Redline.

Dipstick after change read as...

L o--------|------o H


Now at 6500 Miiles it reads...

L o--|------------o H



Seems normal to me....not sure how much the change in oil level (the two slashes) relates to in quarts but it doesn't seem like much. Looks normal right?

Edit: Fixed the spacing...had to add dashes...forum doesnt input spaces

Still indicates some burning of oil. More than I'd like, IMO.
