During a hard week of driving how much oil do you guys burn? Ive been running her pretty hard this last week and Ive managed to burn about 2 quarts of oil.

 

20k ITR motor, zero

especially this past week,lol

its finally hit in the 50s and 40s in florida, so cars are running awesome for us below sea level cars,lol

 

about 1qt per 1000 miles in considered "acceptable" by manufacturers on higher mileage motors.

Failing PCV valve can also cause excessive oil consumption. I was using 1 quart between oil changes on my brand new engine with a bad PCV. Changed it out and haven't lost a drop so far.

 

how does this cause bad oil consumption?

If the valve gets stuck and essentially never closes, then oil vapors are drawn into the intake manifold and then burned off. Thus causing "Excessive" oil consumption. Simple.
