Are you absolutly sure you added the correct amount of oil when you changed it?

I am fairly sure I addded the right amount of oil. 5.1 quarts with the filter?

X2 and did you factor in the oil filter(s)? Just a thought....

I believe I did. I checked the dip stick and it showed filled.

Yeah, I would get it to register correct today and watch it closely.
More than 1/2 quart consumption per 1000 miles is cause for concern.
Then again the dipstick and/or tube length may be wrong.
Might be best to just drain it and start from scratch.
Fill it to proper volume and check the measuring stick.

That is probably the best place to start but what is the correct amount of oil? In the 318 it was 4.5 quarts with the filter, what is it with the 360 magnum? Also if the dipstick is to short and I fill it up till it shows full won't that actually be over filled? What is the right amount of oil for a 360 magnum?
