Omg lmao I'd literally go check it asap. These engines burn oil faster than rotary engines.

I think it is an engine to engine basis. I burn about .5 qt in 3500 miles. And I'm FI. N/A it was maybe a 1/4 qt in 3500 miles.

I burn no oil so far. I honestly think it's all in the break in.

Lol damn at one point I was chewing through a quart every 3,000, now its settled down, about the same as yours.



Oh yeah, submitted my app for a loan on the SS I have a deposit on. So I may be leaving you guys =/ Lsacamaro has dibs on my brand new elite can. I also have my engine cover, they definitely aren't getting that! lmao

Are you going to be modding the SS? Or keeping it all stock?

Also question.. guy said after he put the intake on he started getting the check engine light sometimes.. When we test drove we saw nothing. It's still under warranty so we'll get it looked at, but it wouldn't be from the intake, would it? Adam said it shouldn't be flashing a code just from that.

Depends on what air intake it is honestly I think one of the K&N intakes made the CEL turn on.
