9500 miles without needing oil?

Is that normal? Haven't added a single quart and it shows I have plenty. Kind of odd, no?

I didn't have to top off my V6 during the first 10k miles, however, the gauge went down one bar. You're due for an oil change soon, wouldn't worry about it.

In 15k miles, I have never had to add oil to my hybrid. I used to have a 2008 CS and I would have to add a quart of oil every 3k miles or so.

I've added oil twice to my CTT. But it's been a while since I've had to do it again.

I took delivery of my '12 CTT in Feb, currently it has 12,000Km and I have added oil 3 times already. Our weather here gets extremely hot (~50 C/120 F) plus I've been driving it relatively hard (no Break-in) so I'm happy with the consumption.
