Great analysis from Blackstone and no oil consumption after track time... definitely a good engine.The car has not been consuming oil. I was monitoring the oil level closely after what happened to the oil pressure sensor. I have always been an old school guy who checks the oil when it is cold before starting the engine. Under those conditions, I never saw the level fluctuate.
However, the manual states to bring the oil temp up to operating temperature and then shut the motor off. Then wait 15 mins and check the oil level. If it falls within the normal range, do not add oil.
So, my observation was that under track conditions, the oil level did decrease to just under the full indicator (the hole). I would approximate maybe 1/4 of the range from top to bottom. I did not add oil. The oil level was consistent time and time again under the recommended procedure. I never had to add oil during the three days of driving. However, the dealer did add some oil when the oil pressure sensor was serviced. How much? I don't know. It is insignificant because that was after only my first run on the first day.
So it seems that I have a very good engine. My oil analysis from my first oil change came back with excellent results. See the below report
Oh, before I forget.... Who's the chick in your new avatar?

Oh... that lovely lady happens to be Christine Mau..... a great pilot. Iāll tell you.... she is one tough chick with ābig ballsā. The first chick to fly an F-35. Initially, there were some issues with the ejection seat due to her weight.... it was necessary to make a few modifications to resolve it.
Her old man flies for Continental..... Iām sorry, I should have said United.... All these mergers :doh:
