I picked up my 05 MCS Friday (Electric Blue, white roof, white mirrors, and white 17 inch 8 spokes – love it) and put 300 miles on it over the weekend. Never over 4500 RPM and varied the speeds as recommended. However, I checked the oil and was down halfway on the yellow marker. Yes, I could see the clean oil. This was very surprising.
I replaced most of what was lost (approximately 6 ounces) and checked it again tonight after 75 more miles (375 total) and it’s down slightly. My sales rep. said there is a difference between warm oil and cold. I checked it warm tonight and will check it again in the morning to see if there is any difference.
Anyone out there heard of oil changing the reading based on its temperature? I know this sounds silly, but I’d like to hear your opinions. I’m sure it does on a molecular level, but not enough to change the reading on the dipstick!
