In 1953 it was considered good for a brand new Chevy six to use a quart in 1100 miles. In 1970, we had a brand new 292 six that used a quart in 4000 miles. I had a Ford pickup with a 360 and about 80,000 miles that got 1500 to 2000 miles on a quart. My Cummins Diesel does better than that, but then I also have a Toyota with nearly a quarter million miles that gets about 600 miles on a quart. it was a lot worse than that before I did the valve seals. The oil consumption depends on a lot of factors, temps, type of use, how near you are to needing an oil change, etc. I should think a Northstar should do better than a quart in 2000 miles, but then I don't know, with these newer high tech engines and all. Just some ramblings and benchmark numbers for my $0.02.
