Maybe I should've asked first, but I changed Totoro's oil about two
weeks/1000 miles ago.  I used Castrol synthetic blend10-40w and a fram
filter.  It's what I could find on short notice here in Bend.   Now I seem
to have added a full quart of oil already.  :-(  It's a bit worrying.  Is
there something about synthetic oil that would cause this or maybe a filter
that is a bit off?  I don't see smoke or drips.  I am confused.
