I used mobil 1 in my STi and it burned about a quart of oil between changes until 32k miles when the engine blew. After the new block and turbo I switched to regular castrol gtx and it still burned about the same amount until I sold it, heh.

My Nismo has burned a little over a quart before the first oil change at 2500. Swapped to mobil one at the first oil change and it hasn't burned any so far. Currently at 3000 miles so will see how it goes with mobil 1. May have just been break in burning it up.

How are you guys able to tell exactly how much your car has burned? Or are you guys just estimating? Like is the distance between the L and H supposed to represent a certain amount of oil? I always keep mine just below the H.

I believe the distance between L and H is one quart. I don't change my own oil in my Nismo, so I could be wrong, but that's how it has measured out on all my other rides I've ever owned.
