V8: Nope

It's got to be sensibly funny
And it surely won't be a Volvo.
Mazda Mx5 Turbo then

That wasn't the oil, but likely the effect of doing a long trip.
The oil only went in after the 600+ miles trip.

Good thing though, let's hope it continues this way.
The DPF cleaner fluid arrived today, so I'll add it to the fuel tank and top up.
ah, I must have misread.. good news none the less, eh!

The winter tyres are on and reinflated to 3.4 bar / 50 psi.
They were down to around 2.2 bar / 32psi due to being stored for 8 months.
The few miles I've done with them being "flat" felt like driving a lead sled.

Tossed another 4 kg out of the car.
Deleted the Rica remapping from the planned mods as it ain't going to happen - I'm not sinking any more money into this ride.
if it only were a real lead sled, like an old saab 93...
