Stupid question:

I just got the car, just hit 1200 miles. I checked the oil, and I was at about 40-50% between the L and F marker on the dip stick.

I have a quart of Penzoil 5w20 I want to put in.

So....how do remove the cover to get to the oil pan? Do I just lift up on the cover from the front?

I haven't tried yet, I'm sure I could probably figure it out. I'm at work now, and it was on my mind

Thanks

Lift up the front of the cover, then pull it towards you.

I'm just guessing here but I assume you run a lot of high RPMS. I'm right around 2800 miles and I've only added about a quart.

No, not really. I babied the hell out of the car for the first 800 miles, only got it over 6k rpms maybe once or twice.
