could you blame it on GM somehow? 40K miles aint much... hell you should see the stuff toyota is warrantying these days. dont change your oil for 70K miles and we will rebuild it for free!!!

damn, i would say .035 is very excessive...honesly though, if it were my car, i would drive it until it breaks.. Thats all i can afford to do lol. Seriously, if it drives fine, dont worry about it until if gives you a problem, or untill there is a noticable amount of metal/**** in the oil/on the drain plug. Thats just what i would do, probably not what you should do though...
about 2 years later and the car still drives fine...
