oil consumption
If you dont have a catch can, you might want to look into the intake and see if its oily at all. You are probably pulling it through the pcv, and check the pcv and clean or replace if necessary. When i put my catch can on my intake was very oily, and that was before the blower. Once installed i never use any oil. I change it more often than most but it is never down.
