- My wife's '79 RX-7 doesn't use enough oil to notice; it's barely off
- the full mark between oil changes. (yes, the pump is set correctly)
- A friend's '90 Corvette usually sucks about a quart between 3000 mile
- changes; the owner's manual states GM won't even consider a warranty
- claim unless it uses more than one quart every 500 miles.
