It is Pointless to collect "Data" when the great majority of these cars are miles away from really being broken in. This is not usable data, it's a bitch thread. Those that aren't happy should really just sell their cars...

6k miles on my car...3k since my oil change at at 80-85% between the "L" & "H" Mark. using castrol edge synthetic (first change at 1k to mobil 1, then another change at 3k to castrol and won't change from now on).

A lot has to do with driving habits, If you drive the **** out of your car, it's going to eat the **** out of your oil...

ya, I am a laid back driver 90% of the time...I think my car has seen redline two or 3 times in the 6k miles I've had it...I followed the 1200 mile break-in period...it's been good to me so far

My wife commutes to work on the freeway and she gets 26-30mpg on every tank.

G37's have the same problem, and they've been out longer...

So, yeah, it is a worthwhile thread.
