I went out, checked the dip stick (it was completely dry), added half a quart, waited, checked the dip stick (still dry). Then I added the rest of the quart and waited some more. I checked the dip stick and it was just below the minimum line. I added another 1/2 quart and waited and checked the dip stick. I plan on changing the oil this weekend, so I wasn't too worried about getting it completely full, just in the middle. As of right now, there doesn't seem to be an oil leak, or consumption problem. No signs of oil leaks where I parked it last night, and no sign of excessive oil consumption in the exhaust. I do, however, get a wierd sound as the car is warming up. I know these engines aren't supposed to sound beautiful as they are warming up, but this sound makes the worst music you ever heard sound like Mozart. It's a puffing sound, starts quiet and gets louder and stays until it gets completely warmed up. The exhaust even pulses with the sound. Any guesses you guys?
