yeah i've read that it burning through a quart of oil the first 1000 miles was common. I'm keeping an eye on the oil levels right now. it's doing "ok."

in terms of warranty, i couldnt agree more, but there's gotta be a good reason for it other than saying "i noticed my cobb ap say blahblahblah" - otherwise i'll get the "it does that!" dealership response.

 

^ you say that the car is burning oil and you demand a comp/leek down test

 

I use that 76 station and I've mixed up to 50% 100 with 50% 91, it does make a difference though I had to reset the ECU once to reset the FLKC. I have over 500 logs (hit the Tactrix standalone counter twice) and have run with a mixes of 100 oct and E85 (from the Whipple station a few miles from that 76); raising the effective octane has a measurable impact on knock.

I can't speak to the 2012s specifically or the oil burning issue, but it's absolutely a given that the GR/GH stock tunes can knock, particularly at WOT on California 91. Isolated -1.4s sadly aren't out of the ordinary, but can often be eliminated completely with a good tune.

 

ok, so its my mistake: the first 1000 miles during break-in, i DID lose 1 quart and dealership said it was normal during breakin. Since my first oil change, i had thought i been loosing oil, but well, i havent taken off the oil cap to measure the oil. Did that several times today and oil is sitting on FULL. i'm guessing with the oil cap on and the o-ring, i'm creating a pressure pushing the oil down a little.
