It's been about 5k miles on this oil change. Even with the front seal seeping the oil level is halfway down the safe range mark, but still not that dark and ugly. Nowhere near as nasty as the Wifes 2012 direct injected Sorento with the same miles on the oil. I have been refilling at the end of the month, it keeps monthly cost calculations simple.

I was filling two 5 gallon jugs when I did the month end refill, one of the reasons why one fill was over 14 gallons. Now I'll stop as gas prices seem to be dropping again and we will be finished with winter blend fuel very soon here.

I still have not run it down low enough for the fuel pump to cavitate and loose pressure, carrying a two gallon spare gas can to top it up when it finally gets low enough. I hate doing that to electric fuel pumps.
