Default Who's engine burns oil? It couldn't be anyone on this forum?
2 yrs ago when the majority of these cars were purchased, I suggested that a product like RESTORE be used by those who are concerned about oil consumption. The concensus at that time was that it heresy to suggest that. Oil is cheap. It's you car and if you are **** about oil burning, (and I would be if I had a similar problem) what could it hurt? BTW with 13 qts of oil in the crankcase you would have to use twice as much of any addative.

I burn about 1.5-2qts every 5k miles. When I change I buy two extras and keep them in the back

Default My first engine would burn oil...
About a quart every few thousand miles or so. It would burn even more if I took it to the track, which is not uncommon.

Default I don't think that the oil burning issue is dependant on the brand/viscosity of the oil
I'm starting to belive that it is caused by bad rings. Some cars have them in and others do not.
