Curious about oil consumption... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Just curious to know what y'all have for oil consumption. I have added one quart in 4000 miles - never goes out w/o at least one 7k run up (usually "more than one"

), and now it is almost a quart low again, as I consider changing it this w/e. I don't have one of those nifty catch cans (PVC recovery(?) like I saw on Pete's car), so I have no idea how much might be "salvaged".

And, if I may ask another Q, how often (miles) do you change oil on your LT5 driven primarily on the street/hwy? Using synthetic and doing very little city driving, I figured 5K was "good" (especially at 9+ quarts at a pop!).
