most everyone on here work hard for their money and love their cars and when you buy a 40 grand sports car you should know how to care for your ride......

how hard can it be to check the oil at each fill up....

the vq is a rock solid engine imho and has all the awards to prove it.

As far as oil burning. Mine needed 1.5 quarts after 1k miles.

My 98 explorer has 145k miles and rarely goes through a quart in 10k miles which is when I change the oil. I use mobile 1 extended ware.

My Expedition uses a little more about 2 quarts in 10k using the same.

My Saturn redline sky uses almost none and I drive that like I stole it.

I might need to report the z to the dealer.
