How long between when it was changed and when you notice it down one cross hatch? It would be normal for it to use that much after about 2000-3000 miles....
the oil was changed 8/21/05 and that would have been about 1600 miles ago. approximately. this is the first time i've even checked the oil and noted exactly where it was. maybe it's been down a crosshatch for awhile...

considering it will be awhile until i get my next oil change (every 4000 miles), maybe adding a quart would be a good idea? my engine's ticking like crazy and i am wondering if it's because it needs oil.

i should go get a quick picture.

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.
