Also, a bit untrusting in the whole 10k mi. first service I was checking the oil MCS and not getting a confident reading on the dipstick. This morning I dont know if its in my head but I'm getting a motor low on oil sound, but no low oil light.????????[img]null[/img]

Let the car sit on a flat surface for twenty minutes or
so and check the oil. I don't think it unusual for the S
to be down a little and I'd switch to Mobil One long before
the 10,000 mark. I'd also take a look at your air filter
once in awhile as 10,000 miles is a bit steep for replacing
that as well.
The dipstick is tough to read, you'll probably have to look at
different angles to see it clearly.
