its not that often really, but i do have to fill it with oil every month and a half or so....basically a quart between oil changes. Also, at first i thought i had a problem, but the compression and leakdown tests showed that it was fine....i'm just going to keep rolling and enjoy it

oil does not just magically disappear, despite popular belief among women.

there should be a very visible leak or you have a gallon of oil trapped in the head somehow.

did the dip stick tube decide to not stay in the block anymore?
