You're welcome. Some say it works, others say not but for me it worked well. I think like most things, its hit or miss.

My car uses about 1-1.5 quarts between oil changes. Its normal for our cars with the shitty PCV set up.

My daily burns about a quart every 3000...

Yes, it's normal.

Even so, I would have the car throughly checked out by a tech which could be difficult if buying one so far away...
Not because it could be a problem, just to be safe that there is NOTHING wrong with it.
I've been screwed over a handful of times............................

i was worried about my caddy having oil in the TB from the PCV hose. i hear its normal.

the camaro in my sig never has ANY oil in the pcv hose. i check often because im boosted on a stock bottom end. the pcv hose now runs into the intake between the maf and the supercharger. it is as clean as a whistle!
