It should have nothing to do with the brand of oil.

Miraculously, I either lucked out or did well with my break-in -- zero oil consumption for me. Over 31K on the odometer.

I check the level about every 2-4 weeks.

Well I bought mine used so I didn't have the luxury of properly breaking mine in. Adidasboy had my car previously. I don't know if any of you knew him but there is a chance he drove the car like a bat out of hell from 0 miles up to 16,000 when I got it.

So the problem is z don't like Mobil 1 oils.
I'm planning to switch to Mobil extended performance.
So in this case I should rethink about it. I'm using Mobil 1 extended performance for my Lexus is350 for couple of years but no issue or problem at all. Is there anyone of u guys using Mobil 1 had same problem????

It could be just pure coincidence but that is the exact oil that I use.
