P.S.

i bought my Z brand new with only 5 miles on it from the factory.

The high/low marks on the dipstick indicate the acceptable range for the amount of oil in the engine. As long as the oil level is anywhere in between the marks your good to go. I keep mine at the high mark. Oh, and my car doesn't burn oil.

yeah i figured...actually it does state this too in the owners manual in chapter 8 section 9 after i got curious yesterday. one thing i did note from the owners manual is that it says if the oil level is above the high mark at all that the engine has been overfilled with oil, luckily that has never happened to me lol.

On an engine that burns hot, it is advisable to have the oil at the high mark rather than halfway down or less. More oil = cooler oil.
