Oil used was four quarts (1 gallon) of generic Idemitsu 0W-20. The oil was is use for approximately four months, as per the severe maintenance schedule, during which time it accumulated 2,138 miles. Driving consisted mostly of trips ranging between 5 - 20 miles; 50/25/25 city/highway/mountain. Ambient temperatures observed during this time period were between 25 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit. No make-up oil added.
The car is currently on my last jug of Idemtisu plus one quart of M1 (slight overfill). I will run out the OCI to six months this time.
