Have had the Airaid for almost a year now, no oil consumption as a result of it on my end.

Using the 5-20 dino and notice about a quart low around 2.4k miles, also corresponds with the "change oil" light coming on. Anyone else notice the same? Possible correlation?

I use Castrol GTX 5w-20 and I've only noticed oil consumption once. It was after 3000 miles, 2 wheeling trips, and about an hour and a half of winching (motor running of course).

Other than that, it's never been anything but full.
