I assume you ment that as a joke... My 240D leaks bad like a qt in 500 miles.
At one point just before I got rid of it last time I was using the oil from the
last oil change as makeup for the current... I was using Mobil 1 then to make
the car start in the cold when I didn't have an outlet to plug into. Now I use
dino oil (whatever is the cheapest 15w40 per ounce at Autozone) and plug in
when its cold.

How can you justify keeping "shorter oil change intervals" when the car
burns 1qt/150-200mi like my coupe?

How recently? How hard have you been driving it? You did have a bad
thermostat at some point not all that long ago didn't you? I seem to
remember that.

like you stole it and keep shorter oil change intervals until it clears
up.
