    I believe you posted this in other forums here, which is good. Not everyone monitors the New Intros forum. I would think that it would depend on how much oil you're adding. For example, 1 qt/mo vs 1 qt/day is a big difference.

    Yes I have just trying to get different input. I add a half quart every 2 weeks as of right now its more a seem no leaking onto ground or anything. Just smell it when I first start it in the mornings.

    Wow. 1/2 qt every two weeks is a lot of oil to be leaking out onto the exhaust manifolds. My 2012 started leaking around 80k+ miles and I decided to dump it.
