No thats not normal. But this is also the wrong forum. My car takes just over 7qt's to be happy. Then it started taking 8.5+qt's, and I discovered somehow the oil dip stick had come out of the pan a half inch or so.

The alternator has nothing to with a car running. If the car starts once it has a charged battery, then dies later, it COULD be an alternator problem. Check another forum.
