I noticed that the oil level on the dip stick is quite close to the low mark. Is is normal for a car this young to use that much oil. I change oil at 3000 miles anyway. My mechanic said that this is normal and he checked for leaks (none found). During the previous 2-3 oil changes the oil level was at high after simialr milage. I was under the impression that I would have to put about 30,000 - 40,000 miles before the car would start using up much oil. thanks -- sanjay UUCP: ...!{ utzoo,decvax,ihnp4,allegra}!watmath!srradia ARPA: srradia%watmath%waterloo.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa CSNET: srradia%watmath@waterloo.CSNET
