Default Lsvtec burnig oil, oil change???

I've noticed that i've been burning oil and than started calculating how much am I really burning. The car is still a blast to drive and everything is still there, nothing mechanically wrong. I found out that I add atleast 1 qrt of oil every 1000 miles and i figure what the hell do I even need to do an oil change maybe a oil filter change but oil change?

Any of you guys have this problem and what do you guys do?

What do the other guys think?

i think you have a Ls-vtec....alot of them burn oil....atleast 1 qrt per 1,000 is kinda of alot though seeing how your loosing almost 20% of your total oil. Are you burning blue smoke out the back when under throttle?

Do you have good dry and wet cylinder compression? If so, your valve seals may be leaking.

Do a compression/leakdown test.

Maybe your valves are going bad.
