I always add sawdust to my oil so the cams get better grip and make me go faster.

However I really only check it about every 1000 miles or so.

Seaside Subaru. Bunch of dirtbags to the max. I was there about to buy 05 new when I had to walk out due to shiestiness, at 12 at night on a sunday was when it finally fell apart.

Before I sat down around 8 something, the sales men encouraged my brother and I to take the 04 used sti out and romp it. We floored it quite a bit, he offered to let us go on a 40 minute drive, but we declined.

At 9pm the owner of the white 04 who had already purchased it used came in, she was dropping something off and wanted to check on her car as it was going to be detailed and given to her the next day. She had no idea they tried to get me to rape her car.

Why would I need to check my oil every hour if I rarely drive the car? Tell me. I'd like to know..

I always drive in reverse, that way I only burn oil going forwards.

My girlfriend hates it when my alarm goes off every hour for me to "night check" my oil. When I was sick I made her do it. I still hear about it! I stopped doing the night checks, for a week, and when I would start my car in the morning I would get a horrible squeaking noise from the piston return springs.

You can be over a quart low before your light comes on. Please don't wait for the danger light kiddies. It could be too late.
