On the other hand, I went 10,000+ between oil changes on my synthetic. Just make sure you always check it and top it off. These cars can burn it.
My point exactly, if you know you burn oil (like the other said he does) then check that ish all the time! especially before posting "hey guys what could be wrong with my car".

Um, yeah, but you're not going to be running 98-100 octane every day are you? That's the reason the JDM 2.0 puts out the same as the USDM 2.5 you silly rabbit.

Is it 95? I thought the highest avail was 98 or 100 over there.

This article says 95-96 octane, although this could very easily be false.

BTW, do you or anyone here know this guy? It's a good writeup and he lives around the bay somewhere.

Greg, you might want to bring it by, maybe its something else. I remember last time it was something simple, don't automatically expect the worst

Check your blinker fluid and make sure you have winter air in your tires since it's getting colder.

Why didn't I think of this sooner?! It's your taillight fluid. You've got a leak on your passenger side.
