Moved to general maintenance and repairs, you'll get more help here than you will in the introductory section where that's more for just greetings. I personally would be doing some investigating if a car of mine was eating oil. I have a 1994 Accord with 223,000 miles on it and a 2000 Trans Am with 89,000 miles on it, non of which eat any noticeable amount of oil. All the way until I change their oil at 5-7k miles the oil level is always the same on the dip stick. If I had a 2010 CTS eating a quart every 2k I'd be trying to finding out what was going on.
