yeesh, you got a leak somewhere?

you need to check your oil every fill up and fill it up as necessary. 0

No leaks. I heard using lower octane gas can burn oil, is that true?

How high maintenance has it been over the years? With smaller pulleys and aftermarket exhaust, i'd think there would be certain fixes you'd encounter over the years. Mine's sitting around 85k right now. I'd love to be able to put 200k+ on it with how low the resale value is right now.

That's damn impressive. I mean it's not unheard of, especially if you do the maintenance right, but 200k with performance upgrades is pretty cool. I got my old Eagle Talon to 200k last year, water pump went out, engine overheated, head gasket blew and it crank walked simultaneously at 205k, lol.

All those things are considered normal for a DSM.

Ecotecs should easily go 200K-300K miles without overhaul.
