Was a bit surprised an concerned to see the oil low light come on last week. The oil life indicator was at 45% and i had planned on changing it in the spring. I have about 5k on the oil. I didnt want to bring it to the dealer now for an owed free oil change with the oil light on so I immediately went online and purchased some mobil 1 0-40 and received it yesterday.

Does anyone have similar experience and know how low the oil is when the light alert is triggered? i ended up putting in 3 quarts of oil 1 Q at a time letting the car run for 5 mins then shutting it off and checking the level after 10 mins of sitting. after checking the dipstick with each quart i still could not get a reading on the dipstick. after 3 quarts I felt like that was a lot of oil so i stopped. I couldnt believe i was running the car that low on oil. ugh

I had read on the forum that our Z's may burn some oil but this seems like a lot and honestly i had not been checking periodically. I will do this regularly moving forward. I will probably take to dealer now for free oil change and save the rest of the oil for later top offs.

just checking if this is normal to burn this much over about 5k miles? 2 track days and some 4-5 heavy canyon runs during those miles.

thanks
