09 altima 1 qt per 1k, no matter what 5w or 10w30 I use. No oil consumption the first 700 miles then it turns into a pig. I'm trying castrol gtx in this car for the first time so who knows. Either way I've got a 30k engine to drop in when I get time.

2001 F350 5.4 with 1997 F150 5.4 engine. 225k miles on engine. 1 quart every 1000 empty, can burn up to 1 quart every 100 miles if towing. I have played around with TCW3 in the gas at 640:1 and it has helped with towing consumption.
2000 Jeep 4.0 with 214K miles: No measurable consumption *or* leaks. I did the oil change in it like 2 years ago and it's still just as full as when I changed it.
2018 Forester: 26K miles. Maybe 1/2 pint over the course of the 6K mile OCI the one time I used M1. No measurable consumption on any other oil.

Wife's 2013 Chevrolet Equinox 2.4: 70,000 miles and burns about 1 quart in 2000 miles. Class action lawsuit letter says oil burning is a known issue, our VIN is eligible for repair if we're having excessive oil consumption, dealer says "too bad, so sad, you're not eligible despite what the letter from GM says".
My 2015 Honda Pilot: about 68,000 miles and burns... No noticeable amount in around 6,000 miles. Yet I have VCM which is supposedly known for oil consumption.
1977 MG Midget: Mostly drips in the catch pan down below because of a leaky valve cover and front crank seal. Maybe 1/2 quart a year. Maybe I should start dumping the catch pan into the Equinox to recycle

2009 Prius, 169K - started to drink 1qt in 1500 miles. I used a round of MMO and engine flushes to get it down to 1qt/3K but with the most recent OCI with syn blend Kendall high mileage, I saw oil usage of 1qt/2K. I have VPBR for a 5-gK OCI with a FU and will try a piston soak next to get it up to 3-4K between top-offs. I'll use HM synthetics only. The car saw PP and M1 from new, except for a 1K OCI of QSGB and one with PYB.
2005 Toyota Sienna and Lexus LS430 with 143K and 56K on the clock - no consumption. The van is using PPUP D1G1 I had stashed and the LS is using Idemitsu Zepro. Both in 5W-30.
I'm keeping tabs on a friend's Forester he bought from his mom when she bough an Ascent - and it's the problem child 2012-2013 production FB series. I've changed oil on it a few times and it did drink Castrol Edge or Mobil Super Syn at the rate of 1qt/2500K. I have Idemitsu 0W-20 in it for the last 3 OCIs. The first one 1 topped off with a quart of Peak(Warren) around 4200 miles. The last two OCIs had no top offs. I think I will stay with Idemitsu on this engine or switch over to a Euro 0W-30/40.

1990 c1500 5.7 160k 1/2 qt. 4000 OCI M1 10-30
2005 XB 120k 0 4000 OCI M1 10-30
Both vanilla.
2016 2500 HD 6.0 1100 miles don't drive it much 12 mo OCI. M1 10-30 vanilla.
Company truck = complete and udder piece of frigging JUNK. 111k cab off twice scattered rear end once gobbled up turbo once gut less JUNK. I wish it would catch fire and burn to the ground on the right of way one day. Who even cares how much oil it burns and leaks on the ground.

The rest of them don't show any usage.
Mobil 1 in everything. The Trans Am get 10W-30, oil changes yearly or every 5000 to 6000 miles
Everything else get Mobil 1 5W-30
Malibu 2.0 LTG Turbo every 5000 miles
Silverado 6.0 every 3000 miles
Caprice 6.0 every 5000 miles

My records will say otherwise, but M1 AFE 0w-30 is what I used in my forester when it used a bit of oil. Never happened before, hasn't happened after.
