Hey guys I found my oil consumption problem! Earlier, I wasn't sure if my oil consumption had gone up from extending my engine's revv-limiter and racing it like that or if it was something else to blame (another suspect was the amsoil 5w30 motor oil I also had put in there at around the same time, replacing my trusty mobil delvac 1 5w40). When returning from Topeka last September, the oil consumption was higher than normal which set off a red flag for me.
Anyway, just today I found that my oil filter wasn't completely tight. :shock: Anyway, that probably explains the additional "oil consumption" issue, and I just wanted to pass on the good news... extending the revv limiter does not necessarily cause engine damage.
I will of course keep on monitoring to make sure it returns to normal low levels.
