I do think it's important that this issue is raised, though. There are going to be a lot of new owners coming from cars that don't really burn any oil... they aren't going to know that they need to be checking levels regularly and could use a little nudge in the right direction.

No you should'nt have to top off your oil this often. My MX5 is a "revvy" motor but it does not consume anyoil, of course I don't rev to redline some here do all the time.
