The mechanical S4 OMPs are more reliable than the electronic S5 OMPs. You should burn around 1 quart every 1000-3000 miles depending on your driving style. But, if you still think your OMP is malfunctioning, check the compression of both rotors. If the rear rotor has low compression but your front is fine, you're OMP may be bad after all.

or go hardcore and run premix!!! The only thing you have to worry about non-functioning right is your brain.

There is a decent write up on Rotaryresurrection.com,I personnaly did it. but since my car isnt done yet, i cant tell you how I like it.
