3 quarts is MASSIVE!!! You were one stiff turn away from a dead engine... not joking.

Massive
I agree, Its full now and not jacked up so we will see how long it takes for a quart to leave, drove 16 miles today with no change or obvious leaks. Will keep a close eye on it. As flaky as our guages can be on the MK3 especially the oil pressure I am lucky I didn't just assume it was the guage and keep driving. If you don't see it leaking you assume it's still there. The web is full of reports abut the pressure guage being very unreliable on our cars. I guess it is entirely possible someone emptied it while it was jacked up. People have stopped here a lot asking about my cars wanting to buy them for $100 as junk, also a 4x4 Big Bear ATV was stolen from my neighbors driveway just a couple of nights ago. So there is some crap going down here at night. Even if I blew it up I wouldn't sell it for $100 to scrap heads. Its still running strong even after running it with 2 quarts in it. Maybe it was treated with Slick 50 way back, who knows?

Why would "they" drain only 3 quarts and not the whole thing and I'm sure someone would off at least got some oil on the ground.

Perhaps
Yeah like I said unlikely but you never know. I watch too much You Tube and conspiracy documentaries. The oil was most likely taken by aliens, I mean it was Castrol GTX....lol. I lost a few hours of time, but I honestly don't remember the anal probes and you would think I would have....lol

Oil Loss
Sorry for the double post but they are weeks apart. After 350 miles. I have experienced little to no oil loss in my Supra. I guess that clenches it. Someone had to have drained it of oil without my permission or knowledge. Makes no sense.
