Check Your Oil More Often!!! I went to a drag meeting (LS1) and there were a lot of nice cars. I was ogling a CETA and talking to the owner when he mentioned he ran 10-30 M1 in it. I asked "wow, does it burn much oil?". He replied "nope, none at all". I then pulled the dipstick as he watched triumphantly (it was COVERED in oil). I wiped it off, inserted it, and it came back out registering 1/2 inch below the ADDXXXXX mark. He was 1-1.5qts low. Wow. Just a note to you guys, CEHCK THE DAMN THING ONCE IN A WHILE! I dont like all these spun-bearing posts.

I'm constantly checking the oil in all my cars. Just in case.
But I'm one of the lucky LS1 owners that doesn't have an oil burner.

Always remember to wipe when you first pull out your dipstick!

Ryan,
Your car cant burn oil if you never drive it. Its a proven fact.
