I will start doing these. When the guy at the shop recommended the MOA he said he didn't want to go so far as to recommend that I start using Mobile 1, but I think I just might. Makes for expensive oil changes, but cheaper than a new engine/car.

Having known several people how owned Mazda RX8’s they have a much worse motor oil burning/motor oil consumption issue than the Nissan 370Z ever did.

Yep; in moderate weather I'd keep an extra quart or two in my tiny trunk.

It just didn't sound right when he said that oil consumption increases dramatically around 65,000 miles. I mean, why would it?

The oil pressure light started flickering last month. At first I misunderstood the light and thought it was for the oil level, so I got an early oil change, but the light kept flickering from time to time so I finally checked the manual and searched here and realized it was the pressure.  I got it to the shop immediately. They hoped it was just the sensor, but discovered it was the gaskets.
