Same here. After three oil changes I've never had to add a drop of oil. Started using Redline at 4k miles. Changed the oil at 9k miles and the oil level had barely dropped on the dipstick. So it burned maybe half a pint in 5000 miles. I still check it every couple weeks to be safe. I don't track the car but don't baby it either.

The service advisors say it shouldn't burn any oil. BTW my car was assembled in Jan. of 09. during the course of a year it only aquired 350 miles until I bought it. I'm getting ready for the first oil change

with Modshack. Also during break in period, it's normal to burn a little oil.

I religiously check my oil EVERY 2 weeks. After owning sport cars from various different makes and model, it has actually became a habit of mine. If you think you guys have it worse, ask any BMW owners. Those cars burns oil like crazy.
