IT VARIES FROM CAR TO CAR, BUT THIS IS CERTAINLY WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS FOR YOUR CAR'S AGE - WHAT IS YOUR DRIVING STYLE AND MILEAGE?

AND WHEN DID YOU LOSE YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY?

That is on the high side of normal, assuming you are using an oil change interval of about 4k.

ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 2,000-3,000 MILES SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT FOR ME.

My S didn't lose a drop until I put just over 2,000 miles. I now have 3,000 miles and have gone through 1/2 of a quart.
