yea its normal to eat oil on long trips, about a quart per thousand is average... that being said when i went from 0-40 to 5-40 my oil consumption dropped a good amount i went from about a quart every thousand to a good 4-5 thousand

Nice pics. Glad to see you are stretching its legs. Not a fan of the chromed out rims, but to each his own. The PO of my C55 had added some chrome "accents" which I promptly removed after purchase, so no judgement.

You should not be losing a quart every 1000 miles. You have a serious consumption or weep/leak issue if you do. That's awful, reminds me of the G35 V6 6spd issues with that much oil loss. I lose about a quart every 5000 miles due to slight head leaks and big engine consumption.
