sup fella's..when you guys run your celi hard do you get kind of a funky smell after 4 grand? i do, i always thought that was just the engine really heating up. but now i'm thinking i might be burning mad oil after 4 grand. oil levels stay fine unless i run it hard on a regular basis. and i know some oil will burn up. but mine seems to be a ridiculous amount. i don't know..maybe its just my imagination. but 10w40 redline shouldn't burn up like this. just thought i'd see if any of you notice the same type of things.

I just noticed the past two oil changes my oil being low and the oil light going on. I didn't even make my last oil change. 2000 miles in, I was close to dry and had to add a quart or two. I brought it in to be looked at and they said they couldn't tell me why. they said to come in every 500 miles to track how much consumption. If its consistently burning up oil more than it should, then they said they would open it up, take it apart, and take a peek inside. I do ride my car hard most of the time, its just so much fun. Have any of you found a way to fix this?
