Hey guys, I wouldve done a search but you can't search for things under 4 letters, so I couldn't do a very good search for "oil", huh?

Anyway, I take care of my car. I have the oil changed every 3000-3500 miles regardless of highway miles or not (most of which are). But ive been noticing that my car goes through a lot of oil... what could be the reason for this? I dont have any mods (except a K&N), I change the oil regularly and there aren't any noticable leaks (nothing shows up on my garage floor) So what do you guys think it is?

Also, I think this could be related but my car has been feeling really hesistant when I get on the gas lately.. kind of like it bogs. I checked the airfilter and it looks pretty good, Ive only had that in since April. Could it just be that im low on oil and theres more friction going on in the engine?

I hope some of this makes sense? haha

I don't know, but my owners manual says to put in 6 qt.s but it really takes 6 1/2 qt.s.
