Burning oil

i'm burning about 1 quart of oil between changes. is this normal for LS1's?

also my change oil light always comes on, even right after i change the oil.

yes that is pretty normal for an ls1 to burn that amount of oil

to reset your change oil light i believe with the ignition on (engine not running) floor the gas pedal and let it out all the way three times in a row, if you do it correctly your oil change light should start blinking showing it has been reset
