Default Oil Question

Just a simple question, when I add oil into my vehicle after its a quart low it seems to run alot smoother for a couple days I was wondering if that is normal (I am thinking it is) and if so why does it feel this way?

Well it feels like its running rough after a couple of days but it seems to be alot smoother like when I bring the RPM's up high it feels ALOT different then when it did before I added the oil.... I don't know why it seems to have more power I would say and alot more get up and go.

Just remember man, the higher your rpms are the crazier your pistons are, so with there being the right amount of oil in the motor everything is running as smooth as it should be and besides, if your cars running good and smooth, don't question it, just go with it lol

Oh trust me I am always checking the oil, I NEVER let it get too low especially with a Turbo when it starts getting low I fill it back up with a qt, I need to get my engine checked out though it burns alot of oil I don't know why it could be the pistons.
