belinda and crew fuelled up somewhere on 495 towards Maine...after 3 hours on road (and trip to spfld added in at beginning to pick up her brother and his gf). waiting for the real numbers....they say it looks to be down a quart of oil, which would be 1/3 liter lost per hour...wow. concerned about drain bolt possibly having vibrated looses....but it could be that they just didn't wait long enough for oil to drain down to pan.

Just checked front brakes; plenty of wear remaining on pads and rotors but right front caliper seems a bit tight to the disk and there's a groove worn into it; probably worth disassembling both and cleaning and regreasing. Dust boot on front shocks is torn both sides.
