for all you 3s guys, when you do an oil change, how long does it usualy take to burn a quart of oil through your motor? i put my first 4 1/2 quarts in when i did the swap, noticed it was a little low, and put the other 1/2 quart in to top it off....that was about a month ago, i looked today, and its about 1/4 full on the dip stick, right above the L...i know they burn oil, and i know i drive my car a little hard, but i was wondering if this is normal for the 3s motor

we redid all the seals on the engine.
first thing to check is to make sure none of those seals are leaking for some odd reason. next, because of the large amount of shaft play on your turbo, its probably burning oil from the turbo seal. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
