Default Need Help Please having OIL Problems!!!!

I need some help please cuz Im stumped here. Ive had my car for about seven months now and Ive noticed that it was going through oil quick before my next scheduled change. Looked under car and its dry and I am not burning any oil or smelling anything. So i posted up on here and they said change the PCV valve so I did n it seemed to help for a while. But I guess the same problem happened tonite I had to put three quarts in tonite. So if anybody can help me on this ur help is grately appreciated

Thank You

Three quarts?!? When was the last time you added oil? Your top end had to be making some freaky sounds being that low on oil. Mine needed ONE quart of oil once and the low oil light came on....but three

Well my top end was making no sound N I had to add the oil tonite cuz it was below the ADD mark. N I bought three quarts put them in tonite. I dont know if these motors just love oil or not n go through them quick but it was pretty much close to three quarts I added them all. So Im above the X marks now on my dip stick
