You may want to post this on BITOG to get some other opinions, but something is wrong if the car is burning that much oil and has nickel rising over time.

The first oil change 0.75 qt is misleading, as I did the oil change shortly after I got the car.....so unknown status on how many qts was put previously by the owner during that oil service period.
That being said, the car has been fairly consistent at 1200 mi / Liter......so am chalking this up to how some S65 motors consume oil.
