cell- not sure in your case but on both my G and Z's VQ's when new, i set oil level to about 3/4 up between the two dots on the dipstick. if i fill all the way to the top dot the oil burns.. i can actually faintly smell burning oil after a drive. i dont know why this is.

anyway, on my G after about 10-12K miles i could fill to the very top without burning oil. my Z is at 8300 miles and still burns oil if i fill to the top dot... not worried though.

then again mayor of pittsburgh is puttin stuff into action thats about to have a regime change happen quickly lol



i'm currently at 75500 miles and i really dont think my Z burns oil at all. if so it's a small amount which i assume any car will burn over time. and add in that i pretty much change oil every spring and was putting 10k a year on the car and that oil lol



oh damn yea thats up there. we arent near that yet. avg in my area is like 2.87 for 87 right now. or 2.77 at costco lol

I hope they offer a reasonable cash value for my car, and my insurance doesnt shoot to 300 a month so I can get another Z ( I was paying 115 with 2000 deductible )

damn! who are you insured with?

i got mine at age 23 and think it was like 150 a month with $100 deductible.

think now at 32 it's like 90 a month for my Z and then the 4 months i lay it up and pay like $15 a month.
