When did you change your plugs...how many miles ago? Any oil in the spark plug tubes/on the boots? Did the plugs come out looking dark/scorched?

This sounds like a case of pistion ring oil blowby. Is there any oil inside or on your throttlebody/air intake hose/air filter? Hows the condition of your pcv valve? Have you had a chance to do that compression test?

Hey man im not trying to thread jack but i wanna figure this out too. my car is losing oil about the same amount yours is. I drove to LA and back about 300 miles one way after i drove for atleast 3 hours i would look under my car and oil was dripping. But no drips overnight. Ill know im really low on oil wen my check engine light turns on then i add enuff oil. Happens almost every 800-1000 miles.
