So who was it that changed the oil? Jiffy Lube? The dealer? I doubt that you lost three quarts in three drag pulls. I think it was a messed up oil change.

I just know when the lifters start ticking loudly, it's time to add a quart or three.

There is no Definate on this, I am scrambling around now on some motor packages. AMS and Buschur are 4 weeks out, but got some pokers in the fire, and NO, those "pokers" dont have hot dogs on the end of them yet!! I can feasably get it in and ready QUICK, if the deals come together.

Well, if you dont get it done by then if there's any way we can do it, you can codrive my car at the event. You could like enter my car twice and i drive it at the beginning of the group then you drive it at the end or something like that. You cant put this whole thing together and not get to compete in it.

M1 is a darker oil to begin with. It's normal.

This is why I do all my own work/maintenance on my car and check my oil a couple times a week.
