No lights on now or ever. If a plug is fouled out wouldn't the engine light come on? And it was in the 40's this morning in nashville and she ran like a champ on the way to work. And I'm on the 87 tune. Going to fill up again tomorrow or Sunday with 93 and keep running the 87 tune for at least 2 tank fills before hitting the track with the 93 tune and cam idle tune.

I check my oil weekly when I wash my car. In three years of ownership I have never had to add oil in between oil changes.

3 quarts within 6k miles is quite a lot of oil to be used so I would tend to believe it was low to begin with. Your last oil change... did you do it or did someone else?
