I have driven the car about 5k since I bought it last april and the oil dipstick is still right at the full mark.

My old 330 ZHP had 115k on the clock and it never consumed, leaked, or burned any oil
Are we assuming 7500-mile oil changes?

My last oil change (7,500-mile intervals) was the first time I had to add a quart; I'm only ~2k miles into this interval & level's holding steady.

143k here, and I've noticed no oil "consumption" since I fixed the OFHG leak.
I'm wondering if some seeing "consumption" are due to leaks instead of actually burning oil.
I do changes every 5K. Too much city driving. No noticeable oil consumption in about 25K since I got the car.
