Rx-8 loves drinking oil
I hope its not me but after i get a oil change and everything like that my oil is full but it doesnt take that long when i check my oil in my car and its almost gone ....
that bottom line on the dipstick isn't empty, it's just 1 quart down. And depending onyour driving and how active your metering pump is you could go through a lot of oil. I drive aggressively and she drinks 1 quart in between 600-1000miles. Absolutely nothing wrong with the car.

It you get oil changes every 3000 miles, you will need to add at least a quart if not more in between them. That's the rotary way. It's normal.
is it too much?
now the real question is am i doing something wrong mine takes like a quart honestly in a average of 750 miles. I don't have any smoke and i've been told this is healthy for the engine.
