My last oil change at 5000, when I open the oil pan, I only have a little left, I meant very little maybe less than a quart. Engine is running with strange noise when downshift at that time.
Just put a large pics of paper at the exhaust, put the gear in N, and step on the gas with the paper at the end of the tail pipe, my have a lot of black little dot on it, which is motor oil.

Any updates?
I'm wondering why some folks rely on their dealers to tell them if their oil level is low during an oil change (I'm not talking about anyone in particular). My guess is that they wouldn't mention anything unless it was excessively low. It's not that hard to check the oil level first thing in the morning before you start the engine. I can't understand people who complain about not being able to read the dip stick... read it first thing in the morning.

sorry for the long delay, but finally the problem is getting solve.
As i mention earlier, I have to restore the car back to stock. So that took a week, then bring it to the dealer for an oil consumption test. I am not kidding about this, the test is actually done by changing the oil with the oil pan marked, so it cant be tampered. Then they send me home and ask me to come back after I drive it for one thousands miles.
At one thousand miles, I went back to the dealer which happen earlier this morning. Shortly they told me the engine needs to be replaced and ask me to return next week for replacement. They also add more oil in it, because it is running low. My advise, check your oil if you drive your car hard; and dont mod your car early, do it after a couple thousand miles.
thx all
