I know, I know...it's just immensely frustrating not to be able to do anything right now...and they know I have the Stage 1 tune...they sold me the AP. I did had them do the compression test for me the day I picked up the AP. Murphy's Law I suppose. Hoping it's not a huge repair bill.

That's why I wasn't fretting all that much as first when I checked it and it was low. The car had been driven that morning, and typically I always check it cold. I know that the recommendation is that you check it warm, but I consistently check it before start up (just to convince myself that there's oil in the motor). I checked it after letting it sit overnight and the oil was VERY VERY low...only the tip of the dipstick had any oil, so I dumped in a quart and it came back up.

See above. Thanks for the input though.
(Sigh) Sorry to repost something everyone has always heard with these cars. I just needed to rant. You play everything by the book and then this.
