Finally- stu wants fed

Approaching 8800 miles and the "Please add 1 quart" message appeared while on the interstate yesterday. Stewie wants some oil.

I usually drive pretty spirited with some frequent highway trips so no complaints. Spent 8 bucks and topped it off. Quicker than making a service visit, and without the streaked lack luster free car wash I tell the service department to not do...

For an additional datapoint on a related thread, how'd you break it in?

I broke the car in somewhat in the middle. I haven't tracked it yet and did the 1200 mile service. I kept the redlines down to a minimum (definitely wot a few times couldn't resist), but didn't baby it by any means. I'll post up the next time Stewie needs fed to share
