I purchased my 370 in May 2009. Unknown build date, but I think it is 03/09. The question I have is - why is it that at 25,000 miles, my engine (very thankfully) consumes less than 1/2 qt in 5000mi? I broke every single rule in the book during break-in and have driven it like a complete ******* since day 1.

The transmission was replaced under warranty, but the engine in my car is 100% bulletproof as far as I can tell.

Not rubbing it in, but what gives. Is there a definite cause that's been pinned down? Is it the rings leaking or valve seats?

Late,
Trav
