Pretty common to consume oil for the first 3-5k in the stangs.

I didn't really consume much at all in my first 3-5k, but I followed break-in to a T. No redline for 100 miles, no track for first 1,000 miles.

10 quarts is way too much, so there is definitely a tolerance issue there.

Updated video with telemetry. My mistake on lap 3 is much more obvious in MPH here.

I was using a borrowed logger. I'm looking to get one of my one, and this one looks like it has the best features for the money. A racing friend was using it at WGI and he liked it a lot. The DL version will also allow OBDII logging.
