i burn about 2 quarts per oil change 3000 miles. my motor actually burned more oil before i put the turbo on. i also use lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer cause its thick as hell, keeps me from buring even more oil

its normal for a high mileage engine and for a forged piston engine to burn more than normal when cold

Zero. Happy motor... knock on wood. Even with several months of Dry ZEX and now nearly a year under 8-9 lbs of boost.

I use 15w30 Castrol GTX... the regular ----.

In any case... rering-ing a motor isn't bad.
