Oil Leak!!!
Oil Leak!!! Checked my oil today and im way low almost to the add oil level...im about 500 miles from my next oil change...just wondering where i could be losing this oil and if it is a major problem...i still have all my power but this kinda is scaring/confusing 
me. No wierd noises and everything seems to be in good shape.
me. No wierd noises and everything seems to be in good shape. its been exactly 2122 miles since my last oil change...put the typical amount of mobile 1 5w-30 in. ill check the intake to see if there is any residue when i get up. But like i side its way down. just above the add oil...is that typical to lose that much between oil changes?
What year car do you have? My engine with M1 5w30 used almost the same amount of oil as you. I have a 2002 WS6. I'm going to be switching over to the Penzoil Platinum I think and see what happens. I run Mobil 1 in 5w30 in all my vehicles and have noticed more oil consumption than usual lately. Going to try switching brands and see what happens.

i took my car out the garage and noticed a few little drips here and there. i dont know if its because sometimes my car sits for almost a week without being driven or started sometimes.
i run castrol syntec 5w-40 and never had any oil consumption issues at all.

Dude your sig is ******* hilarious
I'm really starting to believe the hype that Mobil1 isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'm going to be switching to Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic at next oil change and see how that does.
yes i agree i think when i do my oil change i will be changing to pennzoil platinum or GC. i have heard m1 had changed there oil...guess i can see its not as good as it was...the periovous owner is a friend of mine and he had no problems with oil...when did m1 change there oil formula?
i hear ya man!! i remember seeing all the people having oil consumption issues. and all of them were running mobil 1.
I really would like to run the Penzoil Plat. due to all the good reviews but I also want a high mileage oil. Unfortunately Penzoil doesn't make a syn high mileage.
I have 4 cars in my household that ran Mobil 1 5w30 and interestingly enough, they all recently have started using oil. Coincidence? Probably not. Out it goes!

i always wondered if there was really any difference using synthetic vs. regular oil when your changing out the oil religiously every 3k miles.
on my old 2000 Z28 i used castrol GTX 10W-30 and i had no issues at all.
