Oil usage amounts. Post them here.

My first car, a 72 Ford Maveric, paid $360 in 82 for it. Pretty much when I filled the gas tank, I also would add a quart of oil. It was one of those 2-cycle Ford's :)

But, I'd think these new, high compression, are so tight they would use almost no oil between changes...

I now run 6,000 mile oil/filter changes running PP 0w20 and consumption is ~ 6 Oz/6k miles. Ed
 
I just checked oil this evening and after 5300 miles it is right on the upper mark from last oil change. I did have to add a half quart or so to get it there when I changed it in October. Always a good feeling to have a tight engine with no leaks.

EDIT: The additional oil for those that don't know is over the stock recommended amount as that only brings it about 1/2-2/3 up the dipstick. I like to have it right at the max fill line.
