oil changes on high consumption engine?
on my V6 DD camaro, I'm leaking/burning at least 1 full quart every 1000 miles.
basically, after 4500 miles, the oil still looks new. as long as the oil continues to look like a good color, should I even both to do an oil change? I was pondering just changing the filter every 5000 miles.

pretty sure the oil pan is leaking pretty good. its wet in the front and rear, not just the rear, so i dont think its the rear main.
i got a new gasket, but i dont have an engine hoist. i tried to get the motor mounts apart without it, but wasnt having much luck... so i gave up.
