Seems right. Oil at coolant + 10 seems normal.

Made the 300 mile return trip uneventfully. Oil level seems consistent and still seems pretty clean.

Completed another ~580 mile road trip this weekend. I think that puts me around 2000 miles. No appreciable oil consumption that I can find. Also, FYI - when I pulled the downpipe to put in the catalytic converted, I did a basic play check for turbo bearing wear radial or axial and found that it was pretty tight, I would say felt like I would expect it to new.

Either that engine is newer than your mileage or it is very stout. Considering it was the most powerful 4 cylinder in the world 10 years ago ...

Especially surprising since I can't believe it didn't see some action with a downpipe over the past 55k or whatever.

Internet says that makes 26 psi stock.
