My old 330 ZHP had 115k on the clock and it never consumed, leaked, or burned any oil

Car is at 65K miles:
2003 Sedan, 6MT, completely stock. Original gaskets. Consumes no oil between oil changes*. It's always at the full mark.
*Time of observation: 5 months, 2k miles

Are we assuming 7500-mile oil changes?

I think most of us here do changes between 7500 and 10k miles. Sure...Originally Posted by LivesNearCostco

My last oil change (7,500-mile intervals) was the first time I had to add a quart; I'm only ~2k miles into this interval & level's holding steady.

143k here, and I've noticed no oil "consumption" since I fixed the OFHG leak.
I'm wondering if some seeing "consumption" are due to leaks instead of actually burning oil.

I do changes every 5K. Too much city driving. No noticeable oil consumption in about 25K since I got the car.
