Default first 700 miles & she used 3/4 of a quart on the dip stick, normal?

I was suprised to see that my oil level was way at the bottom of the range this evening, only 702 miles on the od.

What oil should I use to top it off? A synthetic or traditional oil?

Also, only gettin 15mpg city, ugh! And I'm driving like grandma most of the time. I got 19-21 with my '00 sedan w/ tip and was hoping to have between 17-19mpg with the Avant. If this keeps up I might as well go get an allroad.

I have some sputtering between 3500 - 4500, more so than my sedan's slight blip around 4k when things started kicking in. Other than that I'm loving the car.

appreciate any insight.

Default NORMAL, don't worry.

Add HALF a Q. of dino 5W30, wait and recheck, should be less than a Q.

Good luck, you'll need it with those turbo's .

Perfectly fine, just don't do it again! ;-) What's with the Shortbus? I own one, myself!
