Anyways, I got mine much more often after I topped up my oil 2 weeks ago. Mobil 1 has a habit of evaporating plus I just switched back to Mobil from Pennzoil Platinum (good stuff), so it would be natural to be eating a little oil.
The dipstick was maybe 1/4" below the "full" line. I grabbed a half quart of Mobil and tossed it there. Checked the level and now I'm 1/4" or more above the line. Oops.
Anyways, I've noticed that sometimes my P0300 coincides with a recent oil change in which the level is a tad high.
What that means? I have no idea.

Could it be heat related? I've noticed I throw the code more often when the car is over heating (due to variety of reasons)
Food for thought.
