Like twice a week but I went to a parking lot and revved the car for about 10 min to burn some of the oil. At one point it fluttered at 6k rpm and the cel light came on then back off after I let off but after a while of revving and idling it seemed to go away maybe a bit of a rough idle but that's about it
