"...despite the engine being full of the stuff..." Am I reading this correctly? You had to add two full quarts to get it to read "full" on the dipstick, when many who follow these boards like to run a half quart or more ABOVE the "full" level on the stick?

Being 2 1/2 or 3 quarts below where you should be is NOT "full of the stuff."

I hope your engine issue is minor, but it wasn't a good sign either that it was using oil to start with. If you end up needing a 3L, take better care of it.
