    qt loss between 3,000 mile oil changes is normal as per gm. sure your not leaking it?

    screw that oil life thing, set the trip change it every 3 to 5,000 miles depending on the oil you run.

    i put no miles on my car per year, maybe 5,000, so i just change it twice a year.

    98 Buick Regal GS, F body brakes, Caddy STS wheels, tinted tails L36 bottom end, lightly ported heads, 1.95 roller rockers, headers, gen 5 N* 3.0 pulley, FSIC, 42 lb injectors, a BrandonHall rebuilt trans, DHP tuned and AEM water/Meth injection https://goo.gl/gpV5kW
