Attn: Very low oil after 6500km
Hadn't checked my oil in a few thousand km. Rolled up up chevron. Popped the hood. Checked the oil. Nothing was registering. I had only driven about 100ft to the gas station so the engine was cold. Drove 15 mins to the Canadian tire. Checked the oil again. Still nothing. Bought a qt. And it just reads over the minimum line now. Just be careful. Kinda freaked me out a little.

I just changed the oil on an FR-S at ~5500 miles. It was a quart low on the dipstick. Seems to be normal in a lot of new engines that run 0w20. It's thin. It gets consumed easily. I also feel that the 7500 mile oil change interval is way too long.

I just checked mine at around 4750 mile mark on this oil change and its still dead on.. Just over 15k miles now
And it was NOT broken in by the book ;) |
1/2 quart used in 5500-10500 mile range for me....

Remember with the boxer engines you must be on a completely level ground and let the car sit for a good amount of time not running before checking the level.
