My radiator is fine, but does that engine coolant reservoir need to be full? I'm not completely sure. And I changed my oil just shy of 1,000 miles ago and it already ate through 1.5 qts of oil. I use Mobil 1 10W-30 Full synth if that matters at all. I know these are noob questions but this is the best place to ask them.

As for the oil, definitely keep an eye on it. Check the ground under the car as well as the frame rails and axles to see if you are dripping. |

And as long as I've had the car, it's never dripped, but I'll keep a closer eye on it -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
