I can't wait to get this sucker to 1200 miles so I can change the oil and rip into it again. I miss hitting 7500rpms, puts a smile on my face!

Exact opposite happened to me. 800 miles deep on the new short block and the oil level is halfway down between the h and l. Gonna wait til 1000 miles and bring it back in.

That means your consumption is due to a head related problem. Bring it back and get a full long block.

I have just noticed my 1st signs of OC at 19k. I use Motul 300v 5W-40 due to how hot the oil temps get when you drive it hard and I was just below the L mark on the dipstick at oil change today. Taking her back in 1k to begin OC testing. Here we go again, went thru this with my 03 G35, but not until around 60k.
