Add oil light & "service in 1000 miles" lights...
are on. Is it pretty normal to need oil in less than 2k miles? Also, I thought these need service every 2 years or 20k miles - whichever comes first. Any reason it's telling us we need it in about 1k miles?

My Turbo's add oil light just came on again @ 15k miles. I've prob had it come on 5 times in the 15k miles, just added a quart and off I go. Seems the Turbo engine goes thru oil like gasoline. Think of it as an on-the-fly oil change. ;-)

thanks scott, but how about the service at what will be sub 3k miles despite it supposedly needing it every 2 yr/20k miles?

Ben,
Your driving it too hard! It's made in the same factory, but it's not a CGT!
I've done two oil changes so far. My service light first came on at around 11,000 miles and then again around 23,000. I now have 31,000. I must be driving it too hard.
BTW, what color did you get?
