Engine oil levels low

I have been a lurker for awhile now. I have recently had my engine oil levels draining super fast. The car tells me I need to add more engine oil every couple of weeks. I took the car in twice to have them check for oil leaks and they came back with nothing... Anything specific I should suggest to them when I take it back in for things to look out for? Thanks for all the help and advice! Ill attach a couple pictures of the car

Car could be burning oil. Possibly piston rings, turbos, ect especially if its a higher mileage modded car thats been driven hard.

next time you fill oil reset your mileage counter and see how many miles it takes to come back. thatll give you a definitive answer if something is wrong or not

Will definitely do that, will get back once I fill it back.

Sounds like a fun repair if its the turbos, maybe its time for an upgrade simultaneously

Welcome! That is a sweet looking ride!

Let me ask: does it ask for oil in the menu or the oil light? Mine asks for oil and has been considered normal.....especially when driven hard. I keep a Q in the trunk.......not saying it happens often though..... How many miles does it have? How long have you had it? How about a mod list? Looks like a few have been made

It asks for oil in the menu never the oil light though. I tend to drive it hard on the occasion but not normally (only the occasional mountain run or race). It is pretty high miles with 97k now. I have only had it for a few months now. In terms of mods (mostly cosmetic) forgiatos, matte black wrap, CF front lip, CF rear diffuser, resonator delete, maybe a RENNtech tune
