Long time ago, I switched to synthetic, and noticed the car was using oil.. Maybe a quart every 800-1000 miles. I switched back to dino.. it used even more. I went 5k miles between oil changes... mostly because i added new oil all the time (yes i know thats bad) and then the last oil change, 1500 miles ago, I switched back to synthetic.
It hasn't been low on oil since, and I haven't added any.
Isn't that weird?

If it were BRITISH, the only way it would stop leaking or using oil is if it were out of oil!

With your luck it's probably pieces of bearings clogging all the leaks....

Reminds me of a movie I saw where this guy's neighbor was fanatical about monitoring his gas mileage. The guy and his son first added a few extra gallons in each night so the neighbor would think he was getting phenomenal mileage. 
Then, they abruptly changed tactics and started siphoning gas OUT each night 
. The neighbor didn't know what was going wrong with his car!
Watch your neighbors!
