427 c5r blocked LS1 consumes 1 qt every 1000 miles. I carry a qt of oil in my engine compartment with a funnel and keep it topped up when I get gas. I personally think adding oil is good for my 6000 mile OCI because it freshens it up.
Got over 25000 miles on it in less than 2 years!quote:

Pedaltothemetal, when i was doing oil analysis and doing the oil changes at 5-6K as I recall, My oil analysis's (sic?) were excellent. When I had the engine rebuilt in april '03, for some reason one of the cam lobes was worn down and the roller rockers showed signs of bluing and wear. Nothing in the oil analysis indicated anything like that....I suspect the adding of oil every 1000 miles or so, masked the problem. I too carry a funnel and 2 quarts of oil w/ me.
How do you like the C5R motor?
