you will typically use a small amount of oil as the engine breaks in... my
1st oil change was at about 1000 miles... I didn't notice much then, but
then I changed again @ 4000, and noticed it was a little down (not a full
quart)... but now with 45,000 on the clock there's negligible useage... in
6000 mi between changes (I run Mobil 1.. lots of highway miles)
