Hello all, here's my first big maintenance question for the new car... I'm running amsoil 10W30 and it seems like I need to put in at least a quart every 3000 miles or I'll get the low oil pressure light coming on for a split second during aggressive turns. Granted, I drive the car pretty hard, but it's only got 47,000 miles on it and it is not chipped or modified in any way. Also, there seems to be some residue coming out of the exhaust pipe... I noticed it on my garage door (I drive in, shut the door, and then turn the car off; the turbo timer allows the car to idle for maybe a minute or so more, so no danger of inadvertent suicide ;) ) right where the tailpipe lines up. Any ideas? I've got 3K left on the warranty, should I be having something checked out?
