Sorry about the multiple posts. Meant to ask one more question:
Any input on switching to Amsoil European formula 5W40 as a means to reduce oil consumption a little bit...

BTW, when I said filter, I meant engine air filter. I also change the oil filter...
Background:
Just a normal driver of my STi, I don't do anything more crazy than vigorous freeway pulls.
The first two oil samples were Castrol Syntec 10W40, the latest two are Amsoil ASL 5W30.
I screwed up on this sample and managed to only get the last bit of oil out of the sump.
Questions...
