« That's a lot of oil.... but you still might want to check your PCV. If the valve is busted or stuck open it can cause high oil consumption. »

« PMS,, Like Brian says, using lots of oil would more likely rings or PCV valve. Top end seals leak at idle or startup. Get a compression check. Worn or stuck rings likely would be worn or stuck on.. »
