That feeling when it’s hailing at work and your car is out in the parking lot…
 
Check your car for oil burning.

Almost all 2.0 liter FS engines burn oil.

You won't notice any smoke at first until the burning gets really bad.


Check your dipstick after a few hundred miles.

Our engines have issues with seized oil rings and plugged oil drain holes.


PS..
I am SO jealous of your car !!

This is what I'm living with... lol

I changed the oil last weekend. I have driven the car for a year, 1,200 miles, with no smoking or oil loss.

I guess I’m just lucky, but I will continue to monitor it.
