after noticing my oil light stay on for a second or 3 longer than normal at startup, I decided to check my oil levels (yes, I waited 30 mins for the oil to drain from the block).
I found it sitting on the low level of the dipstick...
taking into consideration the fact the engine's running in limp mode, and on unrestricted boost, is any oil use normal or should it be sitting firmly on the "f" level?
I dont want to go to the trouble of modding this engine then finding the whole time a valve seal or some such is letting oil into my cylinders.
as an aside, how much would it cost me to fill my engine with forged goodies? that's a consideration for half a year or so in the future, but if it would last that long burning a tiny bit of oil, it's something I'd look into
