years ago friends of mine would tell me to run my mopar V-8's a qt. low as
the first qt. would burn off after 5-750 miles and then stay at 1 qt.low
for the next 1000 miles.

My 57 Imperial did exactly this for the 19 years I owned it. It never went
below one quart low but would never stay at the full mark. I suspected an
incorrect dipstick but I swapped with my other 57 and the same result
occurred. Strangely enough, my other 57 did not exhibit this
one-quart-low trait.
These cars have such personalities!
