Seems very LT5-like, especially since I only drive this car when I want to play, less so commuting or whatever. The last time I drove 400 miles to AZ, i did it real slow to save gas and avoid tickets...no loss of oil noticed, but i flogged it hard on the return trip and used 1/2 qt. It's mostly pcv blowby as far as I can tell.

I may let it get a qt low and run like that for awhile to see if the consumption rate slows or stay constant to see if my windage theory makes any sense.

Seems we've stumbled on some new ground in this thread!
