    Ok that means your engine is probably starting to eat oil which is pretty common on a g2 motor.
    So it's important that you check the oil a lot till you get a handle on how much it is eating.

    Check the oil after the car has cooled off and has sat for a while and all the oil has drained back in the oil pan,
    Check it first thing in the morning before you start the car. That will give you the true level of the oil.
    Keep the oil at the full dimple and it will last a long time.

    Let it run real low again and you will be buying a new engine like many a poster is doing right now.

    Good luck.
