I'd say your in great shape if thats all you're consuming. Even sponsors on this site who build engines say factory LS1s can burn up to 1 quart every 1k miles w/ the PCV system being as it is. It seems some got crap PCV system others are perfect.
I never used a drop until after my head/cam package, now it looks like in 1k miles I used apprx 1/4 quart, and its 0w30 german castrol. If I went 10w40 I could probably reduce that but ring wear is more important to me, something GC has shown to be among the best in.

Oh, and make sure it says "Made in Germany" on the back. Just because it says "European Formula" on the front does not mean it's the stuff everyone is talking about. it MUST say "Made in Germany" on the back.
