i checked it when i 1st got it 2 weeks back and i could have sworn it was on half way, it doesnt smoke, drives mint, and has 58 000 miles on it

i was concerned about it being a little noisey when cold etc etc
stuck the oil in and it was mint lol

My 97 turbo has 50,000 on the clock and never looses a drop, which still amazes me every time I check as it is the first car I have owned that hasn't burnt oil.

Are you sure it was on half? it makes a differance if it is parked on a bit of a slope.

The sump oil level is VERY sensitive to any road angle; both for-aft and side to side. A couple of degs can make oil reading go below min with a full sump!!!!!

Yes they are very sensitive to slopes, My drive is all over the place so I have to check it at the same spot each time so that I know what I am looking at.
