Check your oil more often. I check like every 3 or 4 fill ups. No mixing needed. Just add oil. Which oil? Depends. Search, and you will find a thread about it.

Should use about a half quart every 1000 to 1500 miles. 5w-30 is fine.
But I would check the oil level about every 500 or so miles.

what you can do like Ive done is see how many miles you can go with burning half quart then just wait till next time you hit that distance add oil.

please dont start a what oil to use thread again.
