My Equinox didn't start consuming oil until it hit 100k. Now it is usually 1/2 qt between oil changes. I use the OLM so it is anywhere between 6-10k

The other ones could not break the tires loose. Youre correct that oil burning wont affect resale value because the next buyer wont have anyway of proving it burns oil unless you let them use it for an extended test drive.
I dont consider oil burning a problem, to a certain extent. Ive only owned one car that doesnt burn oil. All the others burned some to varying degrees and i was always told its normal and i still believe that to this day. The next car I buy Im sure will use a little oil and Im okay with that, i just cant explain the one off engine I have.
That could just be your tires having less traction.
If you took one car on sailun's and one on Michelin Pilot sport A/S3... Guess which one is going to break free easier.
Even with the same model tires older tires are usually harder and have less traction.
