Good to know I haven't busted something important. Checked the oil immediately after running errands so car was warm. Still wondering where oh where all that oil disappeared to lol

I lose some oil when I run it hard. It's mostly from blow by I'm guessing since I got no leaks and no blue smoke.

I noticed on my old z after 5000 km oil started to drop slowly (i check every fuel up)

New car havent noticed that. It was a bit lower last fuel up but i think engine was still draining as it was only 1/3tank. Aslong as its above l and helow h dots we good.

I spool out the engine A LOT

The heads hold a lot. It takes a little while for the oil to drain back down. And to drip off of everything.

I don't lose any just driving it around on the street. It take a beating to see oil loss. Only time I see it is at the 1/2 mile event. But I'm running it up 7600+(limiter set at 7800) in every gear for 50~ runs over 2 dayz using everything ARC has to offer every run.

I finally installed my carbon signal rear diffuser for the 15+ nimso...I have been putting it off because I wanted to have it flush, but ended up getting motivated and installed with 1" spacers. I'm so happy the whole lip kit is now installed.

Diffuser looks good. I finally ordered Sprint Booster today. Should arrive early next week. Was able to get a 10% discount. Hot Rod Z

Went out for a paltry 325 mile spin along the Mississippi River.. they built a new bridge at Savanna/Sebula, and since I've already crossed near all the bridges over the Mississippi i was like "oh! this opportunity comes across once every 10 years or so.. gotta action it." Did so and completed some unfinished parts of the Lincoln Highway National Scenic Byway on the way back.

Brought with a temp gun; am pleased to report to the forum that after wrapping my Y-pipe, readings of the floor pan/trans hump never exceeded 89*F during a 7 hour somewhat-spirited drive with ambient temps ranging from 70*F to 50*F. Sadly, I don't have temp readings from before I wrapped the pipe; that being said, the passenger compartment was noticeably cooler. A box of wrap costs $15 on Amazon. This mod is very high on the cost/benefit curve, and I recommend you do it.
