Yeah, like 11 months ago before he fixed and has been driving it....
Man, 1 year flys when you're having fun
Still trucking along, burning 1qt of M1 0w40 every 2000-2500 miles
Current mileage
I swapped in an eBay drivers door glass, and mirror because the scratches irritated me in the dark
Also, screw no name door clips, if it's not genuine/Auveco I don't want them, they suck
Clipsandfasteners has proven a good supplier to me
One of these days, I'll update the spreadsheet and we can finally review the total costs
Place your bets on it's eventual demise
Kick a rod through the block or the transmission letting go

I bet on something unrelated to its mechanicals. Something like a car accident has much higher chances of taking it out of service. Long live xB2.Man, 1 year flys when you're having fun

Come to Houston where owning a plate is optional since HPD doesn't give a **** about it.
If you see a beat up Honda Accord then there is a 99% chance it's running a fake paper plate that expired 6 years ago and it's barely legible. God how I hate this state.
Wow, 2 years just flew by 
Still trucking along, it's a spare house car, my dad uses it for errands he can't do in his work van
If you ignore the hood
, it looks passable
I want that 300k sticker so bad
I just swapped in this auto up/down all around switch in, it's so deluxe
They sent the wrong color, but nothing is perfect in life
Tasteful remote start and OE key blanks, because I'm strict like that
As for the main topic of oil consumption...
I put Total 5w40 and 1qt of HPL EC30 in it back in August
1,450 miles later, it's used very little to none
I'm calling that a success for an engine at this stage in it's life
The tires are meh, rear wheel bearings are a little noisy, and I still need to address the front donut seal exhaust leak
But it continues to put in the work, and I will continue to drive on
I can wholeheartedly attest to using Berryman/Kroil piston soak + idle flushes and HPL EC as a valid method for oil control ring related oil consumption
But you knew that already
