Oil consumption on track
Do any of you find that you have to add oil after trackdays?
My car behaves very strange. At the actual track the level always shows that it is fine - between half and full. Later on after the event, it will tell me that it is at minimum level. For example, I will finish a track day and check the oil - it is fine. Immediately drive 3 hours home - when I turn off the car after arriving home, it will warn me that oil is at minimum. This seems to happen to me after every track day, but I never have to add oil on the street. Car has 50k miles of hard driving and about 15 track days on it. I am running Rotella T6 fwiw.. |

I never noticed any change in oil level on mine.
Check if there is gasket leak to start with (VCG, OFHG, oil pan, oil lines to oil cooler, etc.). Burning through a whole quart in one day is a little much, but not unheard of though.
