Sup driver. I thought I should just go ahead and make a thread to possibly get more input. So here's my story,

I bought the car in January, it had two owners, 74k miles when I purchased it. I did my first oil change when it reached the 3k mark; used Mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic. At the first thousand miles from doing the oil change I noticed my dipstick was half full, didn't take it as a big issue; refilled it to full. It has now reached 80k miles. 1200 miles ago it had it's second oil change since my ownership. It was a complementary oil change at the dealer (they used their own 5w-30 synthetic blend and oem filter).

So this morning I check my dipstick, it again reads half full at 1200 miles.

My question is, how severe is my oil consumption?

My car is under warranty until 2015, or 110k miles.


Wouldn't want the dealership to try and play me as fool, so any input is of help.


Might I add my car is a 2006 6 speed coupe.

 

that "half full" means you are about 1/2 quart low @ 1200 miles. Continue monitoring it - if you do go in for a oil consumption you must have oil change done at their shop and they monitor it from there.
