Sounds like bs, but at the time and for awhile after that i ran my car fast. Don't know why but switching to valvoline helped to burn less oil. I know most people here put at least 1 quart of oil a month. If your a daily driver and not grandma driving.

I must be lucky, then. I don't have to add oil between changes, which I do around 7500 miles, and I'm running Mobil's 0W-30.

And yes, this car is driven daily...

Remember i have a LS6 Ported and Shimed Oil Pump. I also run M1 Syn 5W30 and M1 Oil Filter.

But on a cold start mine is at about 60 - 62 psi, while crusing ~50 WOT almost 78
