My 7A used to burn a bit of oil, but lately, every time I check the dipstick, the oil level is in the exact same spot when I used to go through about a half quart a month. But for almost a month, it's been roughly the same. Is it even possible for the dipstick to read the oil level wrong?

Have you changed the type of oil your using?
