Ever since I got my SC I've been paranoid about burning oil. Apparently it uses no oil, or not enough to register on the dipstick. But even though I know this I am still paranoid. I was just wondering if it is normal for an SC300 not to use any oil between changes?

You must have had an RX7 as a previous car

I don't know what you guys are talking bout cuz mine eats up a crap load of oil. Then again I drive back and forth to school (5 hours round trip) every other week so maybe those highway miles are killing me.

mine eats oil too. car doesnt eat up the oil u just have leaks like me. not like leaking where you can see it on the ground. but through the seals. biggest leakage would be rear main seal, where the engine coonects to trany. speaking of which i have to get more oil today.. damn it.

I wish, it was an 83 Chrysler LeBaron and a 95 Honda Prelude. But now that I have the SC and it doesnt use any oil I guess I just dont know what to do. But I'm not complaining

Car's are ment to be driven!!!!

Garage queens suck Motors can always be replaced/rebuilt.

haha my FD goes through oil like none other, also has the leak that no one ever is really able to find.

....That's if you have the money then you can do whatever you want and not even care if your motor is leaking oil or if you have to replace/rebuild a motor. If I had the option, I wouldn't drive my car that often just cause I don't want to go through all the maintenance or repair hassles.

yeah but then its just a show car with no miles and whats the fun in not driving it? Im with vjrc51 on all his posts today, that rx7 one made me crack up. I think with almost every ported motor i've worked on (most are pineapples) i've found atleast 1 oil leak. either way back to the topic at hand.... oil consumption is all about the condition of the vehicle. if you dont see any difference in oil levels be happy that you dont have any probs and move on, cant let previous car problems taint your view of your new car, otherwise id be worried about axles exploding once a month haha
