on my old e36 m3(and pretty much any e36 m3 that tracks heavily with the stock s52), its common to just dump a whole quart of oil in before going on track. its gonna burn it off when vanos is active at high RPM(much like how vtec tends to eat through oil as well).

seems like i may end up doing half a quart before going on track and keeping an eye on it throughout the day.
