2016 Mazda CX-5 2.5 4 cylinder that now has 42,000 miles ---- owned since new. Used 1.5 quarts per 5,000 mile oil change, up until about 25,000 miles. After that it has been using .5 quarts in 5,000 miles. I use whatever 0W-20 synthetic oil is on sale and a Mazda oil filter.
2019 Ford Mustang 2.3 turbo 4 cylinder --- now has 11,500 miles on it. No oil usage that I can see. Use Motorcraft 5W-30 semi-synthetic and a Motorcraft oil filter.
2003 Ford Taurus.....I mean Mercury Sable. 3.0 V6. 180,000 miles on it. Leaks and / or burns about 1 quart every 5,000 miles. Leaks from the rear valve cover. Not going to tear it apart to fix it at this point in time. I usually use the cheapest 5W-30 conventional oil that is on sale and a Motorcraft oil filter.
All my vehicles get 5,000 mile oil changes, for ease of keeping track of.

Pretend I'm posting this in the summer of 1981:
1968 Chev Impala, 307 2-bbl, 170,000 miles
Quaker State 10W-30 & Fram filter (PH30, if I recall correctly)
Oil consumption ~ 1 litre every 75 miles
Mosquito count in vicinity when engine running: very low

2003 Chevrolet Silverado SS, 178,000 miles. 6 liter Vortec V-8. 6qt sump filled with Mobil-1 HM-EP 5W-30 and Fram Ultra
2013 Chevrolet Impala LTZ, 55,000 miles. 3.6 liter V-6. 6qt sump too, currently filled with Mobil-1 EP 5W-30 and Fram XG
Both get changed when OLM pops. The Impy is a short tripped grocery fetcher. She counts down to 5% OLM around every 5~5.5kMiles. I try to fire up and cruise the SS when I know it's going to be running for at least an hour. OLM is more forgiving there, but she's about done to 5% OLM at the end of 6~6.25 kMiles.
EDIT: Neither are leaking or burning any oil. Last oil change on SS - saw some weeping on lower back half of oil pan - giving the HM Mobil-1 a shot to see if it helps, but no drops on pavement when parked overnight. *Crosses fingers*
