Is the oil in your engine honey colored or a dark brown?
Does it have an odor other than oil....burnt?
Is it frothy? or have a milky texture to it?
Or are you just finding you are low a quart every time you check it?

Its really dark i checked it about 800 miles and it was at the S for safe then i put a quart and i checked it today because it wouldn't speed up like it would take alot longer and it was below safe like half a inch so i put a quart and it went up and its barely at 1600 miles since the oil change i didnt smell it though

I have to add a quart every thousand miles. Always dark after the first thousand. Switching from 5-20 to 10-30 RP next oil change.
